Corporate lawyer focussed on M&A, private equity and governance

I'm a Corporate Partner based in the London Office. I have over 15 years experience advising Private Equity Sponsors, their portfolio companies and corporates at various stages of development on domestic and international M&A and Private Equity transactions, joint ventures and shareholders' arrangements. I advise across a range of sectors including technology and energy and infrastructure and often on transactions with a link to the US.

I'm referenced in Legal 500 as "standout" for M&A transactions up to £100 million and was recognised as a distinguished advisor in the Financier Worldwide Power Players: Private Equity report, 2025.
