I am a qualified and regulated English lawyer, holding the office of Notary, with dual residence status in the United Kingdom (London) and the European Union (Vienna), and authorised to practise UK, EU, and International Law anywhere in England and Wales. I advise individuals, families and businesses on UK and cross-border legal matters involving private wealth, financial crime, and civil or commercial disputes, particularly where matters are complex, international or high-value.

​

English notaries are specialist lawyers with a long-established role in commercial, private client and cross-border legal work. The office of notary is traditionally associated with senior legal practice, independence and legal rigour. In standing and training, English notaries are comparable to senior commercial lawyers, particularly in matters involving international transactions, private wealth structures and complex disputes.

​

My practice brings together three closely connected disciplines: Private Wealth & Family Business Law, Financial Crime & Compliance, and Civil & Commercial Dispute Resolution. Across all areas, I adopt a strategic and digital-first approach, designed to manage legal risk, reduce friction and achieve efficient outcomes.

​

​

1. Private Wealth & Business Families (UK & Cross-Border)

I advise UK and international individuals and families on private wealth structuring, succession planning and cross-border estates, with particular experience in matters involving multiple jurisdictions, competing legal systems and international assets.

​

I am a Full TEP Member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and hold the STEP Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Private Wealth Advice (PPgD). This reflects advanced training in trusts, succession planning, tax-aware structuring and family wealth governance.

​

My private wealth practice also covers family-owned and managed companies, where corporate governance, control and succession planning intersect with personal wealth and long-term family strategy.

​

2. Financial Crime & Compliance (UK & Cross-Border)

I advise individuals, directors and businesses on matters involving financial crime, regulatory exposure and compliance risk, particularly where issues have a cross-border dimension. My work focuses on early-stage legal strategy, risk assessment and legal positioning in response to investigations or regulatory scrutiny.

​

I am an Associate Member of the International Compliance Association (ICA), supporting my professional understanding of financial crime risk, compliance frameworks and regulatory expectations. This experience is particularly relevant when advising clients operating in regulated environments or across multiple jurisdictions.

​

3. International Civil & Commercial Dispute Resolution (Digital)

I advise on civil and commercial dispute prevention and resolution, including negotiation, mediation and arbitration, with a strong emphasis on digital dispute resolution and modern case-management methods.

​

I am an RICS Accredited (Evaluative) Mediator, a form of mediation particularly suited to commercial disputes where parties require informed legal evaluation alongside settlement facilitation. My mediation work is integrated with broader dispute strategy, including negotiation positioning and arbitration pathways where appropriate.

​

Cross-Border Practice & International Networks

A significant proportion of my work involves cross-border legal matters, where effective outcomes depend on coordinated advice across jurisdictions. I work closely with trusted foreign lawyers to ensure aligned, jurisdiction-specific advice when matters involve foreign law.

​

I am regulated through The Faculty Office of The Archbishop of Canterbury (England), a member of the Association of European Attorneys (AEA) and the International Lawyers Network (ILN), providing access to experienced legal professionals across Europe and globally. These networks are particularly valuable in private wealth, financial crime and dispute resolution matters requiring international coordination.

​

How I Work

My approach is strategic, discreet and outcome-focused. I work closely with clients and professional advisers, offering clear legal analysis and structured advice. Where appropriate, I use digital systems to manage documents, evidence and communications efficiently, particularly in international and dispute-related matters.
