About

I am a Funds and asset management lawyer with experience in general corporate law matters.

I advise fund managers and sponsors in structuring and setting up private funds across asset classes and jurisdictions, including bespoke investment platforms, master-feeder funds, fund-of-funds and continuation funds. I also advise private and institutional investors for their investments in funds, including secondaries and co-investments.

My work spans the full fund lifecycle, from structuring, drafting and negotiating fund documents, to navigating regulatory approvals and leading closings. I work across sectors and asset classes including private equity, venture capital, real estate, climate tech, hospitality and cover the UK, Europe and Middle East jurisdictions.

Alongside fund formation, I advise on asset management and cross-border corporate matters including fund reorganisations, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, joint ventures and strategic investments. I lead due-diligences, draft and negotiate deal documents and corporate governance documents and manage closings.

I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients from family offices, high net-worth individuals and new fund managers to sovereign wealth funds, banks and institutions. Having worked in global law firms as a private practitioner and in international banks as an in-house counsel, my perspective helps achieve balanced solutions to address client requirements.

Outside of work, I am a yoga practitioner and enjoy sports, music and travel.
