Senior associate specialising in professional negligence for lenders

As a Senior Associate at Shoosmiths, I specialise in high-value, complex professional negligence claims for financial institutions. I act for lenders and businesses in claims against valuers, solicitors, surveyors, accountants, and other professionals, handling both claimant and defendant work across secured and unsecured lending.

My wider litigation experience includes insurance, fraud, breach of director’s duties, and managing large portfolios of claims for clearing banks and specialist lenders. I am a sworn member of the New York State Bar and have successfully obtained multi-million pound judgments in the High Court.

I am committed to delivering commercial, timely solutions that maximise asset recovery and minimise legal spend, supporting clients through every stage of the dispute process.
