Biography

I am a litigator, specialising in insolvency and financial litigation.  I sue banks for financial wrongdoing on behalf of insolvent estates.  I also act for insolvency office-holders seeking to recover assets.  I act in financial disputes and bring claims in negligence.  I am a Doctor in Philosophy Student (DPhil Part-time) researching the law of set-off.  I divide my time between my practice at Wedlake Bell LLP in London and Oxford.  I am also a guest lecturer at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies where I lecture on set-off.

My qualifications include BA, LLB, BCL and in 2018 I completed an MSt in Legal Research in Oxford - entitled Exploring the Limits of Insolvency Set-off.

I am a solicitor of the Senior Courts of England & Wales.
