Legal Director


Why choose me

I’m a corporate lawyer who thrives on the momentum of transactions and the precision of project management. Clients choose me for clear, commercial advice and hands‑on execution. I bring together the right specialists at the right time, keep matters moving and communicate plainly so you always know where you stand.

I act for businesses of all sizes – from founder-led and owner-managed businesses through to large corporates across a wide range of sectors. I regularly collaborate with specialist colleagues to deliver integrated, end‑to‑end support.

My work covers the full lifecycle of corporate activity, including acquisitions and disposals of businesses and shares, solvent corporate reorganisations such as demergers, share-for-share exchanges and group simplifications, and shareholder arrangements and joint ventures to support, growth, investment and/or exit.

From the first conversation, I invest time in understanding your business, objectives and risk profile so my recommendations align with what matters to you. You can expect responsiveness, clear communication, proactive issue spotting and a focus on outcomes – whether that’s securing value on a sale, protecting relationships between shareholders or tightening governance to support growth and compliance. I bring strong technical knowledge and a meticulous eye for detail, but I never lose sight of the bigger picture: getting you from strategy to signed documents with confidence.

Outside work, I’m usually found chauffeuring (and generally trying to embarrass) my teenage daughter, at the gym, planning the next holiday or spending time with family and friends.
