I’m a Partner and Joint Head of Shoosmiths’ Dispute Resolution and Litigation team in Scotland, leading our Scottish commercial litigation practice.

I advise on a range of commercial disputes and have well over 20 years' experience acting for clients in corporate, contractual, insolvency, and property related disputes. I have particular experience in managing disputes arising out of corporate and commercial transactions, from breach of warranty and contract claims to shareholder disputes.

I also regularly advise insolvency practitioners, companies and directors on all aspects of insolvency law. I have acted in a number of high profile insolvency cases, including the leading case on whether liquidators in Scotland have the power to disclaim onerous property. In January 2024, I was appointed as Chair of the Edinburgh Insolvency Discussion Group.

I’m also a Writer to the Signet and am Signet Accredited in Commercial Litigation.
