Driving global payments innovation and digital assets strategy through complex regulatory landscapes
I am a Legal Director in Shoosmiths’ Financial Services & FinTech team, where I advise clients across payments, financial services and digital assets. I work closely with colleagues across technology, financial regulation and commercial advisory to support organisations delivering next‑generation financial services in the UK and internationally.
My work focuses on payments regulation, financial services compliance and the evolving digital assets landscape. I advise across the full payments ecosystem — including payment service providers, crypto firms, banks, merchant acquirers and Web3 businesses — on navigating complex regulatory frameworks and launching innovative products globally. I bring cross‑jurisdictional experience across the UK, EU (including MiCA), US, UAE, Hong Kong and Singapore, advising on areas such as crypto‑asset structuring, tokenisation, cross‑border licensing, open banking and commercial arrangements across the digital finance value chain.
I am passionate about helping clients move at pace while maintaining regulatory confidence, combining legal expertise with a strong understanding of product development. I focus on delivering commercially grounded, pragmatic advice that supports innovation and growth, and I work collaboratively across teams to help clients navigate complexity and scale effectively in fast‑moving digital finance markets.
