As a seasoned partner in the London Corporate team, I have over 25 years' experience covering cross-border M&A (public and private), equity capital markets and public company governance including ESG.
I co-head our London Corporate team, and advise on cross-border M&A (public and private), private equity, equity capital markets, joint ventures, corporate governance and reorganisations. My focus is on building long-term relationships with my clients, particularly listed groups, multinationals, private equity and international investors.
Having spent time on secondment in London with Goldman Sachs, Macquarie and Morgan Stanley, I have strong market knowledge and have been regularly quoted in the press - including in CNBC, Bloomberg, The Economist and The Financial Times.
I have been a partner at Bird & Bird since 2021 and was previously a partner in the London office of another leading global law firm for nine years, having qualified and spent over a decade at a Magic Circle firm.
I have a long-track record of successfully executing cross-border deals, particularly premium mid-market deals involving the UK, Europe and the United States. I have spent time working in New York, and travel to the United States several times a year as part of our US strategy. I also have significant experience in executing Gulf in-bound and out-bound transactions and was based in Abu Dhabi for two years.
My broad sector experience includes the Technology, Retail, Media, Healthcare and Financial Services sectors, and I enjoy working with our market-leading experts across those areas. Our one firm approach internationally, practical use of technology tools and integrated teams allows us to provide outstanding and consistent client service on cross-border deals.
I am recognised in leading UK legal directories, including Legal 500 and IFLR 1000, and have led multiple award-winning transactions.
My clients trust me to listen, to work collaboratively, to care, to deliver and to invest in their long-term success.
