About me Expertise Experience

About me

"I am a corporate lawyer specialising in mergers & acquisitions with a particular focus on intellectual property.”

I joined Higgs in 2026 as part of the acquisition of Vialex Limited.

I assist clients across all stages of corporate transactions, from initial structuring and due diligence through to negotiation and completion.

While I primarily work on M&A transactions, I also have experience in intellectual property, investments, and general corporate governance.

I work with a range of clients, including business owners, management teams and investors, supporting them through complex transactions and helping them achieve their commercial objectives. I particularly enjoy understanding our clients' broader strategic goals and ensuring that each transaction aligns with their long-term ambitions.

I am also an active member of the CSR Committee, where I contribute to initiatives focused on sustainability, community engagement, and support for our charity partners.
