About

I act for employers on the full range of employment litigation and advisory matters. I have a particular focus on employee competition and High Court litigation, and I advise regularly on misuse of confidential information, restrictive covenants, team moves and high value breach of contract claims.

I work with clients across a variety of sectors, including financial services, technology, media & entertainment, pharmaceutical and retail.

I'm a member of the firm's Sports sector group and work closely with some of the world's leading clubs, players and sporting professionals.
