Partner leading on professional negligence and banking litigation

As a Partner at Shoosmiths, I lead the National Professional Negligence team, representing clients in high-value claims against professionals, including valuers, solicitors, and accountants. My practice covers complex lending structures, insurance matters, and multi-million-pound recovery actions for banks and financial institutions.

I have extensive experience defending banks in litigation related to lending and financial products, and have managed large-scale remediation and regulatory review projects, including an industry-leading scheme for RBS’s Global Restructuring Group.

Recognised by Chambers UK and Legal 500, I am known for my strategic, client-focussed approach and commitment to achieving exceptional outcomes in professional negligence and banking disputes.
