I specialise in commercial litigation and civil fraud. To me, the most interesting aspect of my work is working with documents and finding and collating evidence, especially in cases of complex fraud. I enjoy the moment when documents start "talking" to me.

I probably read too many Sherlock Holmes books when I was a child and I like working with private investigators. Their work is essential in some cases, particularly when opponents create opaque ownership structures to try to hide their assets.

The case I am proudest of is JSC BM Bank v Vladimir Kekhman – I was involved in every aspect of the case and was responsible for preparing the trial bundle, answering counsel’s queries as well as liaising with forensic accountants, experts on Russian law and the client’s in-house legal team in the run up to a month-long trial in the High Court. During the trial, I had to fly to Moscow on short notice to assist one of our witnesses who was giving evidence by video link. Following the trial, it was very satisfying to obtain a judgment in our client’s favour. The judgment contained serious findings of dishonesty against our opponent.

In my free time, I enjoy London’s many parks and green spaces with my family and I also like to travel.
