I’m Director of Shoosmiths EIGHT and sit on the firm’s Executive Board. I lead our connected services business, ensuring we deliver cutting-edge, value-adding products that combine core legal expertise with new services, technologies and delivery models, giving clients more complete business solutions from a single procurement point.

I bring extensive experience in ancillary businesses, having served as Global Head of Escrow and Securitisation Services at Barclays and held senior roles at ABN AMRO. This background gives me a unique perspective on how legal services can integrate with broader capabilities to deliver more complete and practical solutions.

Earlier in my career, I practised as an asset finance lawyer at a City firm and worked as in-house counsel at Citibank. I hold an honours degree in Geography and Economics from Durham University, and I’m passionate about triaging complex client problems and designing solutions that extend beyond the traditional legal swimlane.
