Professional background
I work with leadership across the Real Estate group to support strategic growth, operational effectiveness and the delivery of high-quality client service.
Prior to this role, I was a Director in Fieldfisher’s Real Estate Litigation team, with over 13 years’ experience advising on contentious real estate matters. I acted for developers, property investment companies, institutional investors, retailers and high-net-worth individuals on a broad range of complex property disputes. I also provided strategic support on property transactions, helping clients to anticipate disputes, mitigate risk and protect value.
I have secured successful outcomes in a number of high-profile property cases in the UK and have been recognised by Legal 500 for my pragmatic approach to large-scale disputes.
I bring a practical and commercially focused approach to the role, shaped by many years advising on strategic real estate matters.
