About Me

Since qualifying as a solicitor in 2016 I developed in-depth knowledge of insurance fraud. I advised insurers in respect of household and commercial property claims and coverage disputes as well as defending fraudulent claims and advising insurers on recovering subsequent losses.

During my time at Tenet, I have developed experience in commercial litigation and fraud disputes. I now operate within a variety of sectors, for businesses of all sizes and high net worth individuals in a broad range of domestic and international cases. I bridge the gap between my client’s situation and their desired outcome.

I work on a variety of commercial related disputes, including breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation claims and shareholder and partnership disputes.

My mission is to find a solution as swiftly and cost-effectively as possible, hopefully without the need for formal proceedings through other forms of dispute resolution including mediation. Where settlement is not possible, I am adept at resolving complex and high value disputes through court proceedings working tirelessly to get the right outcome for my client.

I find peace and balance on my yoga mat and enjoy wellness retreats and hiking. I was once told “there is no growth in comfort” and have signed up to take part in a charity skydive, pushing myself way out of my comfort zone at 10,000ft, which is pretty impressive for someone afraid of heights!
