I joined Fieldfisher from the self-employed criminal Bar, where I prosecuted and defended in the criminal courts. Clients benefit from the perspective I bring from my experience prosecuting on behalf of the CPS (including proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002), HMRC, the Insolvency Service and local councils. My experience prosecuting is particularly valuable to clients interested in pursuing private prosecutions and navigating the Victims' Right to Review Scheme.
In addition to my experience as an advocate defending individuals in the criminal courts, I have represented individuals suspected of fraud in interview and have advised companies in relation to the strength of a potential defence under the Bribery Act 2010.
I also have in-house experience, having spent six months on secondment to the Ethics & Compliance department of a well-known listed multi-national corporation where I advised on and conducted investigations across the Middle East and Africa region, building upon my experience working in a multi-disciplinary team conducting cross-border corporate investigations for companies under active investigation by the SFO.
Recent work highlights include:
Outside of work, I enjoy music, playing hockey and travelling.

Thank you for your humanity. That's not something you can say about all lawyers, let alone corporate lawyers.
