Having studied at the London School of Economics and the College of Law, I qualified in 2007 and worked at a national firm in London, specialising in contract and healthcare law, before living in Chicago for a time with my family.  Returning to the UK in 2016, I developed the commercial offering at a local firm, before moving to Neves in autumn 2019 to join the Company Commercial Department.

I work for a range of clients, including Local Authorities, NHS and healthcare bodies, large companies, SME's, partnerships and sole traders.

With a strong personal interest in education, I am lucky to deal with commercial work relating to schools, including conversion to academies, joining multi-academy trusts (MATs), property matters and compliance, as well as working with clients in respect of nursery and early years settings and acquisitions. 

I advise businesses and owners on a range of matters, including:

• Business structuring
• Business sales and purchases
• Asset sales
• Share sales
• Shareholder agreements
• Partnership agreements
• Responsibilities and liabilities of Directors and unincorporated business owners
• Articles of association
• Service, supply and licencing arrangements
• Franchising
• GDPR, data protection and website compliance
• Terms and conditions and terms of service
• Sale, purchase and leasing of commercial property
• Management companies
• Option and promotion agreements
• Independent legal advice (ILA) in respect of personal or director guarantees for mortgages and finance
• Business continuity planning 

Outside of work my two young children keep me busy – whether it’s exploring the local parks or beating me at Monopoly.  I am passionate about education and serve as a Governor and on the PTA at local schools, and when I get the chance I like to try new things – from rock ‘n’ roll dance classes, to trying my hand at making stained glass or striking my own coins at the Royal Mint!
