Me in a minute

I enjoy corporate transactions because they require a balance of legal analysis and commercial judgment

I particularly enjoy drafting and negotiating transaction documents, and working with clients to find practical solutions that achieve their commercial objectives while managing legal risk. One of the most rewarding aspects of my practice is working closely with clients to navigate the legal and commercial considerations that arise throughout a transaction.

Outside of work, you can usually find me running or at a music gig. When I am not outdoors, I am usually down a true crime or unsolved mystery rabbit hole. I am also a cat lover and will happily stop to say hello to any cat I come across.
