As a fraud and litigation solicitor my focus is on helping individuals and businesses prevent, detect and respond to fraud and dishonesty. I bring a focused, results-oriented approach combined with empathy and sensitivity, which is often essential for the work I do.
I provide clients with comprehensive start-to-finish advice on fraud-related litigation and investigations, with specialised expertise in, investment fraud, banking fraud, authorised push payment fraud (APPs) and fraud committed by directors and employees. My work often involves dealing with applications for injunctive relief.
I know and understand that whatever the nature of the fraud and whatever its scale, fraud impacts us all differently. Therefore, I prioritise getting to know my clients and building strong relationships so I can deliver a custom solution, tailored to meet a client’s unique circumstances and objectives.
I am generally kept busy by a wide range of clients from individuals through to multi-million pound companies both in the UK and abroad, across a wide variety of industries with a diverse exposure to differing types of fraud and litigation issues.
My clients gain assurance from my expertise in the increasingly complicated and regulated field of fraud and financial crime compliance. I am passionate about fraud because of the unique personalities and perspectives of the people at the core of each case I advise on. The diversity of cases I handle means no two are ever the same, and my role is both exciting and challenging as the outcome of each case relies heavily on the people involved.
My clients rely on me to be a calm and steadfast advisor in times of uncertainty when the threat of significant financial damage could be devastating.
Aside from fighting fraud, I also find time to be a mum to two – one an aspiring tennis superstar and one a full-blown diva. I am a very bad puppy trainer, married to a passionate Manx man and ‘enjoyed’ spending time being a local school governor.
