About

I am a disputes lawyer, specialising in contentious regulatory and advisory work for financial services clients. Dealing with contentious supervisory interventions, regulatory investigations and enforcement action.

Much of my work involves advising on investigations and enforcement action brought by the Financial Conduct Authority, Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Reporting Council, often involving complex, cross-border matters.

I also regularly assist clients with advisory queries, including in relation to the senior management and certification regime, anti-money laundering and financial crime rules, and risk management obligations.

My work involves a range of financial institutions including retail and private banks, funds and fund managers, investment advisors and managers, payment service providers and e-money issuers.

Outside of work, I love hiking and being outdoors, usually taking my old-school film camera along for the ride. I am also passionate about making, and listening to, music (having done a degree in classical voice many years ago)!
