My experience
I am a corporate lawyer with over 20 years’ experience advising owner-managed businesses, private equity-backed companies and listed corporates across a broad range of sectors, including pharmaceuticals, IT and technology, manufacturing, retail, professional services, financial services, recruitment, healthcare, leisure, property and construction.
I advise businesses throughout their entire life cycle, from start-up and investment through to exit. My principal areas of expertise include:
• company and business sales and acquisitions;
• management buy-outs;
• shareholder exits;
• private equity and business angel investments;
• group reorganisations;
• shareholders’ agreements and Articles of Association; and
• share option arrangements, including EMI share options and growth share schemes.
I also advise on the sale and purchase of distressed businesses, including businesses involved in formal insolvency processes.
I take the time to understand my clients and their businesses and get to know their wider professional advisory teams. This enables me to identify the issues that matter most to them and provide practical, commercially focused advice. Drawing on my extensive experience of transactions and businesses across a wide range of sectors, I am often able to anticipate potential issues and develop solutions at an early stage, helping transactions progress efficiently and with fewer surprises.
Our team was named Corporate Law Firm of the Year 2026 at the South Coast Deal Awards. The team is ranked No. 1 by both Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, and I have been recognised by Chambers and Partners as a Leading Lawyer for more than 10 years.
