A crisis-tested adviser, guiding clients through regulatory risk and reputation

As a partner in Shoosmiths’ Business Crime and Regulatory team, I advise corporations and directors on internal and regulatory investigations, prosecutions, and other enforcement actions, as well as on inquests and public inquiries.

My experience encompasses most sectors including retail, food and drink, oil and gas, hospitality and entertainment, education, manufacturing,  construction, waste, government, defence, transport, logistics, always with a pragmatic, board-level perspective. and healthcare.

My focus is on helping clients navigate high-profile, high-stakes matters—often on an emergency basis—while protecting brand and reputation.

With over 30 years’ experience, I have acted for both individuals and major businesses, developing a deep understanding of regulatory crime, compliance, and crisis management.

I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland and speak at industry events, deliver bespoke training, and contribute to legal publications. My work is recognised in leading legal directories, reflecting my commitment to excellence and client service.
