Before joining Fieldfisher in 2022, I practised for a number of years in a leading specialist set of barristers chambers in London. As well as enjoying a significant private practice, I gained invaluable insight into prosecution and government work as a graded prosecutor and through secondments at both the Serious Fraud Office and the Home Office.
I also have experience of acting in extradition proceedings in respect of both Part 1 and Part 2 territories. I have successfully resisted extradition requests on a number of occasions and acted for those seeking to engage in mutual legal assistance processes as an alternative to extradition.
I am a contributor for the Lexis PSL professional support product.
I was the Co-Chair of the London Irish Lawyers Association for four years until January 2025 and am a former President of the Middle Temple Young Barristers’ Association. I am also a committee member of Hope For Youth NI.
