Professional background

I have particular expertise in pension de-risking strategies, funding and investment structures, including asset-backed funding solutions and capital-backed journey plans.

I provide comprehensive legal support to sponsors and trustees of defined benefit and defined contribution schemes, focusing on governance and compliance. I led the development of FutureFit, Fieldfisher’s innovative online tool designed to help trustees implement robust governance frameworks aligned with the Pension Regulator’s new General Code of Practice.

Recognised for innovation, I am a finalist for Innovator of the Year at the Professional Pensions Women in Pensions Awards 2025.

I am also an active member of the APL International Sub-committee and IPEBLA, contributing to thought leadership in pensions law globally.
