Career

I qualified from Queens Mary and Westfield College, University of London with a degree in Economics but I have always seen myself as someone who would help others. I worked in a variety of commercial roles for several years after I left University all of which were client relationship management roles.

I then lived and worked in New Zealand for a year before deciding to go to law school. I have always been able to help solve problems and have (on the whole) been the sensible one. I have always both dealt with people and developed relationships with them and working in law has offered me the chance to combine those skills in finding solutions to challenging problems.

The commercial experience that I have means that I can understand other considerations businesspeople will have beyond the strictly legal avenues.

Professional Memberships

I am also an accredited mediator which has really helped me advise my clients on that method of resolving disputes. I have also worked in non-contentious commercial transactional work which has helped identify specific issues when disputes arise.
