About me

"I'm an experienced corporate and banking lawyer who provides clear, pragmatic and client-focused commercial advice.”

I advise companies and business owners on a wide range of corporate transactions, including acquisitions and disposals, management buy-outs, joint ventures and private equity investments.

Alongside my corporate practice, I have a particular focus on debt and finance work and regularly advise borrowers on a broad range of financing transactions, including acquisition finance, real estate finance and asset finance. I also have extensive experience advising on loan notes and other forms of subordinated and investor debt, as well as intercreditor arrangements.

I enjoy building strong relationships with clients throughout a transaction and beyond. I take the time to understand each client's business and objectives so that the advice I give is practical, relevant and commercially focused.

In my spare time, I teach on the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Edinburgh, where I have been a tutor on the banking elective for the last 13 years.

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