I have experience of both Main Market and AIM IPO's, fundraisings and acquisitions. I regularly act for issuers, investment banks and brokers and am confident in negotiating each aspect of a transaction. I am happy to advise on discrete questions concerning all matters of corporate law and governance and have a particular interest in the life sciences and resources sectors.

My recent experience includes:

• Advising EnSilica plc on their placing and admission to AIM
• Advising CT Automotive Group plc on their fundraising and AIM IPO
