Principal associate specialising in insurance litigation and policy disputes

As a Principal Associate in Shoosmiths’ Commercial Insurance team, I specialise in insurance and policy coverage litigation, building and property damage disputes and professional negligence and product liability claims.

I have a strong reputation in the Financial Services, mobility, living and retail sectors, working with leading insurers, manufacturers and other businesses on complex, high-value cases in addition to insurance advisory work.

My experience includes acting on multi-million pound multiparty building warranty claims including in connection with allegedly defective cladding,  successfully defending high-value product liability claims, and representing clients in the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry. I am known for my analytical approach and for developing strategies that achieve the best possible results for clients.

I am passionate about delivering clear, commercially focussed advice and building strong relationships with clients to help them manage risk and resolve disputes efficiently.
