Professional background

I am a solicitor in the Regulatory team, qualifying in 2025 after training at Fieldfisher with seats in Regulatory, Technology & Data, and a client secondment. I have a particular interest in technology regulation. I advise clients on a range of public law and regulatory matters. 

Recent highlights include:

  • A dispute before the Investigatory Powers Tribunal;
  • A judicial review claim relating to a significant piece of primary legislation;
  • Various companies on the application of online safety regulations; and
  • Advising a startup on compliance with medical device registration requirements.

Before working at Fieldfisher, I worked at Meta as an investigator of complex threats to its users. Prior to this I worked at the Ministry of Defence and Google. I was awarded a first class degree from the London School of Economics, and distinctions in the PGDL (from BPP University) and the LPC (from the University of Law).
