I am a partner and lead the firm’s regulatory team. My work predominantly relates to advising and representing clients in the health and social care and social housing sectors.

My experience

I have significant experience in a broad range of regulatory proceedings. I advise clients during police and regulatory investigations. I represent clients in criminal and regulatory proceedings, including health and safety prosecutions, and I have significant experience representing clients during inquests.
