Bio

I am a partner in the firm’s Corporate legal practice group, based in the Cardiff office but working with clients throughout the UK and internationally. I have worked on transactions across a wide range of sectors during my career, but I have developed significant expertise over the years acting for clients active in the technology/IT and high-value manufacturing and engineering sectors. Those clients range from entrepreneurs through to large corporations and funders, from both the UK and further afield. In particular, I work regularly with clients from the United States, France, Germany and Spain. I am ranked in Legal 500 as a Leading Individual in the Welsh legal market, and described as having “successfully cultivated a strong private equity/venture capital offering”. Chambers UK and Chambers Europe both recommend me as a Band 2 practitioner. Chambers describes me as “an excellent corporate practitioner”, with clients commenting in their feedback that I am “really bright and very collaborative”, “tough but very personable when handling transactional matters and “thoughtful in his approach” and adding that my “advice goes beyond pure matters of law, which enables us to make informed commercial decisions”. Several transactions on which I’ve worked have been recognised by peers in the corporate finance industry, including Insider Dealmakers North West International Deal of the Year 2019, Insider Dealmakers Wales VC Deal of the Year 2018 and Wales Deal of the Year 2012.
