Overview

I am a Senior Consultant and from 2019 to 2024 was Head of the Private Client Department at Michelmores.

Prior to joining Michelmores in 2009, I was a senior partner in the Commercial Litigation team of Nabarro for 27 years.

Aside from my role in connection with the Private Client Department, I specialise in commercial litigation, having handled a wide variety of corporate and commercial litigation, including banking and insolvency disputes, with particular experience in acting on complex disputes with an international element.

I have been a member of the International Bar Association (IBA) for over 30 years and was recently Chair of the Senior Lawyers Committee of the IBA.
