Bio

I have almost two decades' experience in advising some of the leading organisations in the life sciences industry. I am co-head of Fieldfisher's International Life Sciences and healthcare group. I am a transactional lawyer advising on both corporate and IP deals. On the corporate side these including venture investment, joint ventures, pharma asset divestment and in particular cross-border structured M&A deals. In the transactional intellectual property field deals include structured licensing, strategic partnering, co-operative research and development and drug supply. I'm passionate about the life sciences sector and have an D.Phil. in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford. I am a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and a fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and sit on a number of advisory committees of the BIA. Prior to joining Fieldfisher, I spent 14 years at another international law firm, where I was head of their UK life science and healthcare group.
