Commercial partner with expertise in sports, tech, and fashion sectors

As a Partner at Shoosmiths, I advise clients on strategic projects across sports, technology, and fashion, including investment, litigation, outsourcing, and IP exploitation. My experience spans negotiating cross-border deals, developing litigation strategies, and supporting clients with sponsorship, distribution, and agency arrangements.

I have worked in-house for leading brands, including Nike and Iconix Brand Group, and trained in fast-paced media and communications environments. My approach is commercial and pragmatic, focussed on helping clients achieve their objectives and manage risk in a competitive landscape.

I am committed to building long-term partnerships and supporting clients with clear, actionable advice that drives business success.
