I am a corporate lawyer, with a focus on M&A, venture capital and private equity.

I have been regularly named in the Legal 500 and Chambers legal directories for both M&A and venture capital, where I have been described as “calm and pragmatic”.  I act not only for private equity/venture houses and other funders but also for management teams, owners and investee companies on a wide range of transactions, including acquisitions, disposals and general corporate matters.

I am passionate about helping clients with both their day-to-day and longer-term strategic issues.  I see the relationship working best where it is for the long-term, with me adding value by helping clients achieve their ambitions and vision through my understanding of their motivations and plans.

Prior to joining Marriott Harrison in 2002, I had a successful career in PR and marketing working for, amongst others, the Arts Council of England and the Copyright Licensing Agency Limited.
