COMMERCIAL LITIGATION SOLICITOR
In 2014, I qualified at Addleshaw Goddard in their Leeds financial disputes team, before moving to London and joining Travers Smith, where I specialised in general commercial and technology disputes. Over 12 years of practice I've worked across a broad range of complex litigation, from high value fraud and technology disputes to injunctive relief, cross-border enforcement and insolvency proceedings.
Career highlights include being part of the team acting for Hewlett Packard in what became known as the "Tech Trial of the Century" - a $4.3bn civil fraud claim (HPE v Lynch & Hussain), one of the largest and most complex commercial disputes in English legal history; a year long secondment at Lloyds Banking Group where I was responsible for some of their most sensitive and high profile litigation; successfully defending a £60m negligence claim involving the alleged theft of the world's most expensive postage stamp from my client's bank vault; and repossessing high value assets including yachts and helicopters.
After taking time out to care for my two boys, I returned to practice in 2024 working independently, providing litigation support on matters ranging from high value commercial disputes to consumer claims and enforcement proceedings.
What I enjoy most about being a disputes lawyer is helping people find a way through difficult situations. Litigation can feel overwhelming, and I'm valued for calmly cutting through the complexity - whether that means finding an unconventional angle, a creative solution, or simply making intimidating situations feel manageable.
I live in South West London. Outside of work you'll find me outdoors - usually on the tennis court or chasing my two young boys on their bikes around Richmond Park.
