I am a Senior Associate in Shoosmiths’ Business Crime and Regulatory team, advising on contentious and non-contentious regulatory matters across health and safety, food safety, product safety, fire safety, and environmental law. My recent work includes supporting clients through major inquiries and inquests, as well as investigations by regulatory agencies.

Before qualifying as a solicitor in 2020, I spent 12 years as a police officer, including a decade as an accredited detective. This experience gives me a practical, investigative edge in managing interviews, case management, and disclosure, particularly in serious crime and regulatory investigations.

I am a member of the Food Law Group and the Health and Safety Lawyers Association, and regularly contribute to sector insights and thought leadership. My focus is on delivering clear, actionable advice that helps clients manage risk and achieve their objectives.
