Principal associate specialising in asset-based lending litigation
As a Principal Associate at Shoosmiths, I focus on asset-based lending litigation, supporting clients across the invoice finance and alternative lending sectors. My work ranges from commercial debt recoveries and fraud-based claims to operational risk management and facility documentation.
I am well-known for my expertise in contentious issues, including enforcement actions, collect-outs, and supply contract reviews. I also advise on insolvency events, working closely with key contacts in the ABL industry and insolvency practitioners to deliver commercial outcomes.
I am committed to providing practical, commercially focussed advice that helps clients manage risk and maximise recoveries in a fast-evolving lending landscape.
