I am a commercial litigation and arbitration solicitor specialising in insurance coverage, company and civil fraud disputes.

I act for clients in complex commercial litigation and arbitration, with a focus on insurance coverage, company and civil fraud matters. I am part of Fladgate’s Insurance and Reinsurance team which primarily represents policyholders in coverage disputes against insurers.

My experience encompasses all stages of the dispute resolution process, including trial, and I have represented commercial clients in the High Court, before the ICC, and in ad hoc arbitration under the Arbitration Act 1996. I have also worked with clients to resolve their disputes through negotiation and mediation.

Prior to joining Fladgate in 2021, I worked for a FTSE 100 travel and tourism company.
