About

As a Managing Practice Development Lawyer I advise the Dispute Resolution lawyers on a broad range of subjects from key changes to substantive law and technical interpretation of court procedure.

I qualified with a city firm, worked for a well-known media practice and spendt two years working as an in-house lawyer for a publishing company before returning to private practice. I have gained significant dispute resolution experience in many areas and acted for clients from large corporations to individuals.

My experience includes dealing with cases in the Court of Appeal, High and County Courts, the Magistrates Courts as well as ADR including Arbitration. I therefore bring practical knowledge as well as legal expertise to my role. My role as an in-house lawyer also enables me to consider issues from a commercial perspective.
