Corporate Law
We act across a broad swathe of corporate matters in the UK and internationally on both public and private deals.

I focus on corporate transactions for successful private companies (start-ups, development finance and sales/acquisitions); and restructuring transactions and advice for distressed businesses.
Business issues rarely come in neat boxes.
After qualification I started dealing with insolvency work at a leading London firm. I then chose to broaden this with experience of general corporate, finance and commercial agreements. Throughout, I have taken a hands on approach and enjoyed broadening my knowledge of commercial law and transactions. I have been recognised in legal directories in M&A, insolvency and finance work as well as contributing to text books or publishing articles in a number of these areas.
I can now draw on the breadth of this experience to find the best way to address clients’ needs. Whether the issue starts as a new start up, acquiring or disposing of a business, raising funds, or going through a restructuring process, I enjoy helping businesses come up with creative solutions to their issues. In a fast changing environment this breadth of approach can open new options for clients. I try to find the order in apparent chaos.
I regularly act for UK and overseas operating businesses, property companies, investors, insolvency practitioners and funders.
And out of work I enjoy cycling round London and surrounding country with friends, spending time with my lovely wife and two children, reading history books, listening to blues and rock guitar and catching up on sleep.
