"I am a corporate partner. I have a wealth of experience advising clients in the private, third and public sector across a variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, disposals, reorganisations and joint ventures. I advise across all sectors, with a particular specialism in manufacturing and health & social care.”

I joined the Higgs corporate law team as a partner in December 2023.  Prior to joining Higgs, I was a partner of another large regional law firm where I set up and led their West Midlands corporate offering.

I have significant experience in mergers, acquisitions, disposals, reorganisations and joint ventures across all markets, specialising in particular in health and social care and healthtech, as well as manufacturing.

I have nurtured strong working relationships with professionals in the SME market and West Midlands region, including corporate finance advisers, accountants and tax specialists, helping to achieve best results for my clients.

I take a pragmatic and commercial approach to guiding clients through complex transactions and take pride in being able to walk clients through negotiations in a way that allows them to take informed decisions in their best interests.
