Corporate Partner specialising in ECM and Public M&A matters

I am a partner in Shoosmiths’ corporate team, specialising in public company transactions.  I advise listed companies, those seeking to list and investment banks on IPOs, fundraisings and public M&A across UK public markets. I also advise listed companies on their ongoing corporate governance and regulatory obligations, including under the UK Listing Rules and AIM Rules, as well as on the application of the Takeover Code.

My practice is centred on mid-market ECM transactions across AIM and the Main Market, with particular experience in the Financial Services, Healthcare and Technology sectors. I am recognised by The Legal 500 as a Next Generation Partner.

I focus on understanding what clients are seeking to achieve from a transaction and providing practical, commercial advice to help them get there. I take a collaborative and personable approach, working closely with clients and their other advisers to keep transactions moving efficiently.
