Financial Crime & Compliance
Civil & Commercial Disputes
I am a qualified and regulated English lawyer authorised to practise law throughout England and Wales. I advise individuals, families and businesses on UK, EU and international legal matters, with a focus on high-value, cross-border and strategically sensitive work.
My legal practice is focused on three areas of UK, EU and International Law; 1. Private Wealth Planning and Administration, 2. Financial Crime and Compliance; and 3. Civil and Commercial Dispute Prevention and Resolution, delivered through a modern, digitally enabled approach.
3 Areas of UK, EU and International Legal Practice
