I am an Associate in the Commercial Real Estate team, having qualified in May 2026. I previously joined Shoosmiths as a paralegal before completing my training contract with the team. Prior to joining Shoosmiths, I graduated from the University of Nottingham with an LLB in Law.
I have experience assisting on a variety of commercial property transactions including lease negotiations, disposals and acquisitions and real estate financing. Recent clients I have acted for are:
1. A national telecommunications retailer in relation to its leases and general portfolio management; and
2. A global railway company in relation to the reorganisation of its various property assets.
