I am a Senior Associate Solicitor at Morecrofts, based in our city centre office, with extensive experience in both commercial litigation and commercial drafting. Since joining Morecrofts in 2013, I have developed a strong reputation for providing tailored, strategic advice to individual clients and businesses who face a wide range of legal challenges.
With a focus on commercial litigation, I regularly assist clients in resolving complex matters, including contract disputes, debt recovery, shareholder disputes, professional negligence claims, employment-related injunctions, contentious probate, trusts of land (TOLATA), commercial landlord-tenant matters, and collective enfranchisement.
In a commercial drafting context, I provide comprehensive services to help clients safeguard their interests and minimise future risks. This includes drafting and advising on terms and conditions, partnership agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, privacy policies, commercial leases, and settlement agreements. My work is focussed on protecting businesses and facilitating smooth and secure operations, reducing the likelihood of legal disputes arising.
I take pride in delivering a highly personalised service to each client. Whether I am resolving disputes or drafting legal documents, I ensure that the advice I provide is not only effective but that it also aligns with each client’s specific goals. My approach is client-centric, focusing on delivering practical, achievable outcomes that support long-term success.
Outside of work I am a father of two, and I am an avid football fan and a keen runner.
