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 markets. Alongside this, I provide corporate governance guidance to support clients’ ongoing needs.

My practice is centred on mid-market ECM transactions spanning AIM and the Main Market. With broad experience across multiple industries, I have particular expertise in advising clients within the Financial Services, Healthcare, and Technology sectors. I am ranked in Chambers and Legal 500 and I was named as a Star Associate in the most recent edition of Chambers for my work on AIM.

I am dedicated to assisting clients in attaining their strategic objectives, whether through an IPO, other business-critical transaction, raising growth capital, or supporting their own clients on such matters. I deliver outstanding service by fostering collaboration and maintaining a personable approach with all parties involved, ensuring every process is efficient and seamless.
