Solicitor – Admitted 2023
Charlie has done an excellent job in providing detailed feedback and helping to ensure that things moved forward.
Overview
I am an Associate in Michelmores’ Business Group, advising clients on a broad range of Banking and Finance transactions.
I regularly act for institutional and alternative lenders on a range of debt transactions, with a particular focus on secured lending (including development and bridge financing) and project finance (specifically in the renewables sector). I also advise commercial borrowers on acquisition finance, term facility refinancings, and regularly advise on debt and security issues in corporate reorganisations and accelerated M&A transactions.
I joined Michelmores as a Trainee Solicitor in September 2021 and qualified in September 2023. Prior to joining Michelmores, I gained several years’ experience in the corporate department of a leading global law firm, and before entering the legal industry I was an Account Manager for a major European IT distribution company.
Outside of work, I enjoy keeping fit, whether in the gym or hiking, and I am an avid (but not talented!) chess player. I also support Brighton and Hove Albion and the Miami Dolphins as an armchair sports enthusiast.
