About Me

I am a Senior Associate in the Lewis Silkin Real Estate and Development team.

I joined the team in April 2016 from a large full-service commercial law firm in Cardiff where I worked in the Real Estate team since qualification in 2008. I am experienced in acting for a diverse range of clients including institutional investors, large corporate and other private and public sector clients in all aspects of real estate transactions including commercial acquisitions and disposals, asset management, property development work, real estate finance, corporate support and all nature of landlord and tenant work. 

I strive to give clients clear, creative, and commercial advice to help them achieve their goals in a cost effective and efficient manner in line with their business needs. I am experienced in acting for clients in all real estate matters arising through the life cycle of their assets and work closely with my colleagues to ensure all of my client’s legal requirements in other legal sectors can be catered for. 

My main interests outside of work include sport (in particular rugby and football) and travelling.  I was fortunate to combine both interests when following the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia in 2013 and exploring other parts of the country. I also enjoy going to the theatre with my partner and spending time with family, friends and my french bulldog Opie.
