Professional background

Professional background

I undertook my legal training at Fieldfisher, gaining experience in our corporate and banking teams, along with a secondment to Fieldfisher's Silicon Valley office where I focused on data privacy and international data transfers. I qualified in to our Employment practice where I have a focus on clients operating in the financial sector. My practice includes contentious, non-contentious and advisory work for a range of national and international clients.

Prior to joining Fieldfisher I worked for 2 years at a financial services department of the UK Civil Service. Before that I spent 8 years' at a market-leading international fine art auction house, focusing on middle eastern clients and associated markets, and then assisting with a number of change management programs across its UK, European and Asian offices.
 
I am on the steering committee of Fieldfisher's Pride Network, working to promote an inclusive and supportive environment for the LGBTQ+ community.
