Position

I have been a Corporate Lawyer for more than 30 years and am now the Head of Corporate at Michelmores. I am also privileged to be the elected Senior Partner of the Firm.

As a Corporate Partner, I have a wide range of experience from working on over 500 transactions. After reading law at St John’s College, Cambridge, I worked in London at a renowned corporate media and technology firm, where I advised on a lot of technology IPOs and M&A deals, as well as deals in the property and leisure sectors.

I have always enjoyed supporting entrepreneurs and, having taken one tech client from early stage to listing on the FTSE stock market, I joined them as Head of Legal and Company Secretary. That company was taken over by a NASDAQ buyer a few years later, and I chose to work as a Partner at a leading National law firm before joining Michelmores in 2010.

Before becoming Senior Partner, I was head of our Private Wealth sector, and work hard to ensure that all of our people and clients are aware of our unique proposition to integrate our business advice and our private client advice in a client-focused way.

My current clients range from larger listed PLCs and some of the largest trading businesses in the UK or with a presence here, down to SMEs and early-stage entrepreneurs and HNW individuals.

I am closely involved in MAINstream, our business angel network and MiVentures, our incubator programme.
