Partner advising on public and private capital transactions

I’m a partner in Shoosmiths’ corporate team, specialising in capital investments, mergers and acquisitions and public company transactions. I advise private equity houses, listed companies and nominated advisers across the ECM market, with particular expertise in AIM transactions.

I’m ranked by Legal 500 and Chambers as a leading individual, and regularly guide clients through IPOs, secondary fundraisings and public M&A. I also act for private equity sponsors and management teams on buyouts and exits, helping them navigate complex deal structures with confidence.

Clients value my energy, responsiveness and ability to deliver results. I’m a member of the Law Society of England & Wales.
