Why choose me

I have over 20 years’ experience in corporate law and specialise in mergers and acquisitions, turnarounds, corporate restructuring and joint ventures.

I also have extensive experience in advising on shareholder agreements, company law, corporate finance and refinancing, buy ins and buy outs (MBOs) and takeovers, both within the domestic and international environment.

  • Advising 101 Films International on its joint venture with The Wonderfilm Media Corporation, which launched ‘Wonderfilm Global’ a new film, television and media sales company.
  • Acting for Hilco Capital, a prominent financial investor and adviser, that specialises in restructuring and refinancing other companies, working across a broad range of sectors.
  • Advising on the acquisition of construction consultants Always Group by international project and construction programme management company Rhead Group for an undisclosed consideration.
  • Advising SPS Logistics Limited with the sale of the company’s business and assets.
  • Advising Zebco Sport Europe in connection with MBO and subsequently on refinancing/corporate issues relating to its European group of companies.
