Me in a minute

Having been the client, I know what drives a company to success and I know what you look for in your lawyers.

I'm passionate about changing the world and democratising access for all through technology, entrepreneurship and a sense of humour. That's why I love working with gamebreaking tech companies, founders and investors on financing opportunities to help shape tomorrow's world.I was an in-house lawyer at Babylon for 4.5 years, during which I worked on $1bn+ worth of transactions and supported the company through its blitzscaling journey from the Series B start up that I joined in 2018 to an NYSE-listed public company in 2021. I was a cornerstone member of the award-winning Babylon legal team and I've also built up my practice through my experience at three elite global law firms (Cooley LLP, Proskauer Rose LLP and Linklaters LLP).Having been the client, I know what drives a company to success and I know what you look for in your lawyers. I also understand the pressures that founders and global investors face, and I've been in the room when key decisions have been made. I therefore strive to always provide pragmatic legal advice that aligns with your goals and values.I've loved the rocket ship adventure so far and I'm excited to support you on your corporate journey so that you can focus on making the world a better place.
