"I am a commercial lawyer who joined Higgs LLP in 2026 as part of the acquisition of Vialex Limited, and I assist with a wide variety of commercial contract matters.”

Since qualifying as a Solicitor in 2024, I have been working within the legal counsel service. I provide support to the team across a range of commercial contract and general governance matters, covering agreements for the supply of goods and services, distribution agreements, manufacturing agreements, intellectual property arrangements, contract management processes and corporate compliance policies.

As a member of the legal counsel service, I particularly enjoy researching and problem-solving to help resolve the day-to-day challenges our clients face, translating the law into practical, accessible advice that meets each client's particular needs.
