Bio

As a corporate Partner, I advise on mergers and acquisitions, commercial contracts, shareholder arrangements and partnership law. I enjoy identifying and achieving the right solutions and outcomes for clients and strongly believe that good service consists of responsive communication. I look for long lasting solutions that reduce complexity, delay and risk. I trained and qualified at Clifford Chance and spent the first eight years of my career working on a broad range of finance, company and commercial matters in the City. I believe that the best corporate lawyers are likely to have a broad range of experience of business and life. I have a particular expertise in advising schools on mergers and in relation to their commercial contracts and other commercial issues. I am an experienced school governor, having chaired the board at a very successful prep school in West Sussex for 6 years and served as vice-chair and chair of finance in the maintained sector for 5 years. I have served as a member of the Law Society’s Company Law Committee and regularly contribute to the Solicitors’ Journal, for which I write a quarterly update on commercial contract law.
