A commercially minded associate with cross-border deal experience

I’m an Associate in Shoosmiths’ Corporate team, advising on all aspects of corporate law including venture and growth capital, M&A, private equity, and joint ventures. I support clients across sectors and jurisdictions, with experience coordinating international counsel and managing complex transactions.

I trained at a regional firm in Buckinghamshire and qualified in 2023. Before joining Shoosmiths in 2024, I worked at a corporate and tech specialist law firm. My academic background includes a Law and French degree from Cardiff University and an LLM in Legal Practice from BPP Law School in London.

I’m passionate about delivering clear, commercially focussed advice and building trusted relationships. I bring a collaborative approach to every transaction and enjoy working with clients to achieve their strategic objectives.
