Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world
As a disputes lawyer, I work alongside clients to identify and navigate risks in what can be a changing legal and commercial landscape. Key to this is understanding client motivations to find solutions to problems in that context.
Alongside my commercial practice, I am an active supporter of Osborne Clarke's pro bono work. I lead a team of volunteers in our disputes team to provide specialist pro-bono legal advice to people in our wider community – it is a varied and rewarding experience.
