Overview
I am a Senior Associate in Michelmores’ Commercial & Regulatory Disputes team based in London.
I qualified in 2018 and have a broad range of commercial dispute resolution experience, including breach of contract claims, shareholder litigation (including unfair prejudice petitions), regulatory disputes and arbitration work. I am experienced in representing clients at mediation to successfully achieve settlement, both at the pre-action and post-litigation stages.
I have acted for and against a number of financial institutions and much of my work has involved complex, multi-jurisdictional issues.
Having grown up in the South West, and experienced life at another international City law firm, Michelmores really does provide the best of both worlds: allowing me to work in a city that I love, as well as the opportunity to travel and work across any of our other locations.
