“I have always been fascinated by the world of finance”
“Most of my work involves international risks or disputes. I regularly advise on cases in the US/Canada, Bermuda, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia/New Zealand.
I enjoy immersing myself fully in the sectors in which my clients operate, and have an intimate knowledge of my subject matter and a detailed understanding of how my clients do business. This has developed through various client secondments and relationship partner roles.
I am commercially minded and focused on outcomes. I am responsive and take pride in delivering a remarkable service to my clients. Overall, I believe clients appreciate my understanding of their businesses and my dedication to helping them overcome their challenges. I like to think they see me as one of their trusted advisers and know that I will be there for them when they need me most.”
