Data privacy partner delivering pragmatic, sector-focussed solutions

With over 20 years’ experience, I advise clients on data privacy regulation, information law, and cyber security across sectors including financial services, fintech, technology, and real estate. My practice covers transactional support, compliance, and cyber advisory, from due diligence and contract terms to breach prevention and response.

I help clients implement global privacy programs, manage international data transfers, and operationalise responses to data subject requests. My approach is grounded, proportionate, and focussed on delivering actionable insights—whether supporting global public companies or ambitious start-ups.

I am recognised by Chambers UK for pragmatic advice that distils complex regulation into clear, real-world guidance. I am committed to helping clients build trust, manage risk, and thrive in a data-driven world.
