Biography

I am a Partner in the Restructuring & Insolvency team specialising in both contentious and non-contentious insolvency. I work closely with insolvency practitioners, creditors, lenders, corporate entities, charities, directors and other stakeholders. I am a solicitor-advocate (all higher courts, civil and criminal) in both England & Wales and I am also admitted to practice as a solicitor-advocate in the Eastern Caribbean Circuit. I have significant experience acting on complex contentious matters, including acting on unlawful tax avoidance schemes, breach of duty claims against directors, cross-border insolvency issues, and acting on complex bankruptcy issues. I have a depth of advisory experience and I have recently advised on proposed Restructuring Plans under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006, advised a large sports travel company on a joint-venture agreement in relation to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and a social housing organisation on a solvent wind-down. I have significant experience in the not-for-profit sector having (among other things) led the insolvency advice on the pre-pack sale of 4Children (August 2016). I am a member of the International Bar Association, sit on the Consulting Editorial Board for Lexis PSL Restructuring and Insolvency and the LexisAsk panel for insolvency law and am a contributor to the Jordans publication the Law of Legal Services.
