Commercial property litigator who provides clear, actionable advice

I’m a Senior Associate in Shoosmiths’ Real Estate Litigation team, advising investors, developers and occupiers on a wide range of property disputes. My work includes lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, possession claims, insolvency-related issues and day-to-day asset management disputes. I also support developers in the industrial and housebuilding sectors.

I qualified in 2019 and have built a strong practice focussed on resolving disputes efficiently and commercially. I’m known for my pragmatic approach and ability to provide clear, actionable advice that aligns with clients’ wider business goals.

I’m a member of the Property Litigation Association and contribute to the firm’s knowledge-sharing initiatives. My focus is always on helping clients manage risk and move forward with confidence.
