I am an associate in the corporate department focusing on mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and equity capital markets transactions. I also provide general corporate advice to company founders and directors.

I joined Fladgate’s corporate team in February 2025, having qualified in September 2023.

I have experience working with both UK and internationally based clients on a broad range of corporate matters, including advising on both public and private M&A, equity capital markets and venture capital transactions.

One aspect of my work that I particularly enjoy is building and nourishing strong relations with clients, both on a human and technical level. I find that attaining a deeper understanding of both the business and people involved drives results in an efficient and pragmatic manner.

Outside of work, you can find me in the gym, reading or scoping out a good beer garden with friends. In a past life, I was a performance analyst coach for a couple of professional basketball teams in the UK (so I am always keen to talk hoops if football isn’t your bag).
