I specialise in capital markets and M&A, with a focus on the natural resources and healthcare sectors.

I am primarily a capital markets lawyer, helping entrepreneurial and high-growth companies navigate the complex listing process on LSE’s Main and AIM markets. I pride myself on being able to cut through the complexity and summarise concepts with clear, straightforward explanations of the rules and the commercial impact on my clients. I have been actively involved in the AIM Market since inception in 1995, and have acted as company secretary to a number of listed and AIM companies. I also advise my clients on both public and private M&A transactions.

I represent clients across industries ranging from casinos to oil companies, with an emphasis on the natural resources, healthcare, property and financial services sectors. My experience of going down two working gold mines in Africa has given me direct exposure to the mining industry and its day-to-day challenges.

When not working, I like testing my body by swimming (and the occasional cycle ride), my brain by playing bridge, and my patience by supporting Chelsea (although after 50 years of support, I should be used to the ups and downs of football).
