Career
I qualified as a solicitor in 1999 and joined the Company Commercial Team at Tees in October 2024. For much of my career, I have advised clients on corporate and commercial matters, advising a diverse range of clients.
SPECIALIST SERVICES
I have a particular expertise in the health and social care sector, advising on care home transactions and medical partnerships, acting for doctors, dentists, veterinary surgeons, and other care professionals for over 22 years.
I deal with all aspects of corporate and commercial law, including:
- Corporate restructuring
- GP Partnership Agreements
- Management buy outs and buy ins
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Employee Ownership Trusts
- Shareholder and Joint Venture Agreements
- Partnerships and LLPs
- Finance and banking
- Commercial agreements
- Corporate aspects of agricultural transactions
I am often praised for my balanced and pragmatic approach and ability to find solutions to ensure a successful outcome. I see my role as a facilitator committed to helping our clients record their transactions and business relationships in the best possible way, while recognising the need to reflect the level of the transaction or contract to ensure sensible negotiation, bearing in mind the risks. I enjoy working with the wide variety of businesses that we assist and the variety of work and advice required, which also involves working closely with our clients’ accountants, banks and business advisors.
