About

I am a senior associate in the dispute resolution department. I specialise in restructuring and insolvency particularly with a fraud and asset tracing aspect.

I advise financial institutions, office holders, debtors and directors. My practice includes working on CVA’s, pre-pack administrations sales, formal insolvency and advising management on duties and risk.

I represent clients in insolvency litigation in both corporate and personal insolvency situations as well as fraud and asset tracing matters and advising on antecedent transactions.

The pandemic has changed the way we work and the ability of businesses to continue trading in their usual way. This has brought financial considerations and difficulties to the fore. Strategic planning for getting back to work and dealing with any fall out should be started as soon as possible, including checking for fraudulent transactions on any bank or other account that may have been missed during the lockdown and directors obtaining regular advice on their duties and responsibilities.

When I am not working I enjoy walking, reading and listening to all types of music as well as watching rugby and cricket.
