Solicitor – Admitted 2015
Overview
I am a Senior Associate in Michelmores’ Commercial and Regulatory Disputes team, with a decade of experience covering both commercial disputes and financial services.
Having relocated from London to the Southwest, I recently joined Michelmores from the Financial Services Disputes team of CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang. Before that, I worked for Eversheds Sutherland (where I also trained) in the London office of its Commercial Disputes team.
I have a breadth of experience in disputes across a wide range of sectors, many of them with an international element and involving complex fraud and contractual claims, and a high level of exposure to trial work, including reported cases at the High Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
As well as trial work, I have also advised clients on resolving disputes without litigation, in sectors ranging from energy, engineering and telecoms to retail, healthcare and education.
Recent experience

Representing a prominent Iranian offshore engineering firm in a complex fraud claim, which was the subject of a three-week trial in the High Court
Defending a high street health foods retailer at both the High Court and the Court of Appeal in relation to a claim against it by a US corporation for breach of an IP license agreement
Acting in a high-profile dispute between an online property portal and a group of estate agents in an action for breach of contract in the High Court and in defence of a claim of anti-competitive behaviour in the Competition Appeal Tribunal
