Corporate dealmaker with global reach and boardroom insight

I head Shoosmiths’ national Corporate team which advises on M&A, private equity and venture capital transactions. I work with high-growth businesses, entrepreneurs and PE-backed corporates across sectors including tech, consumer, financial services and national security.

Since joining Shoosmiths in 2013, I’ve led on complex cross-border deals and strategic restructurings. Recent highlights include advising the shareholders of Fosroc on their $1bn+ disposal to French industrials conglomerate Saint Gobain, Heligan Private Equity on their investment and fundraising programme and household brands such as Waterstones, Peloton and a listed US software business on their UK and cross-border acquisitions. I’m known for my hands-on, commercial approach,  ability to deliver under pressure and for building strong, trusted relationships.

I lead our team across Corporate focusing on innovation and efficiency in how we deliver our services to ensure that we are deliver on our promise of client excellence.
