Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

I am enthusiastic about Osborne Clarke's mission to support the energy transition and help promote key drivers to reach net zero, including our growing specialisms in the green hydrogen economy and advancing carbon capture and storage.

Outside of everyday client engagements, I actively support Osborne Clarke's longstanding commitment to pro bono and giving back to our local communities, and enjoy volunteering at the South Westminster Legal Advice Centre.
