Overview

I am an Associate in Michelmores’ Commercial and Regulatory Disputes team, having qualified in November 2022.

I currently assist other members of the team on a wide variety of commercial disputes including defamation disputes, breach of contract claims, corporate disputes, regulatory disputes and trust matters.

Our clients include a wide range of individuals and businesses operating across a wide range of sectors, both in the UK and internationally.

Throughout my training contract, I have completed seats with the Transactional Real Estate, Employment and Agriculture Teams. I am excited to qualify into the CRD team and continue to develop my skills as a disputes lawyer.
