Principal Associate

What can I do for you

I'm a commercial health lawyer with specialist interests in both HealthTech and Womens Health. I have a passion for innovation and love working with clients who are looking to break into new areas or do things differently, especially if that leads to improvement in health and social care outcomes.

I provide commercial legal support on all forms of contracting and collaborations for a wide range of health and care sector clients including the NHS, the independent health sector and suppliers to the sector.

Supporting your ambitions

What drives me is helping you to achieve your goals and I'll work closely with you on that.

I've worked on pioneering transformation projects across the sector including the provider collaboratives and place based partnerships, significant service transfers and large scale EPR procurements.

I also work with clients as their 'go-to' lawyer and coordinate their legal needs, be that commercial or any other area.

You can be rest assured that I care about your organisation and it's success as much as you do! I will work with you to really understand and help to shape your strategies and ambitions, working as part of your team.

What do others say

“A commercially minded, talented lawyer fully able to translate complex strategic concepts into a comprehensive legally valid delivery model. She is professional, responsive and creative and takes pride in delivering high quality work on time and within budget. I have absolute confidence in her ability to provide the most pragmatic legal solution to even the most challenging briefs.”

What else should you know

I'm honoured to have been elected co-vice chair of techUK's Health and Social Care Council. This role brings me even close to industry and the NHS, where I am able to contribute to tackling some of the big and small issues affecting the sector. I lead the commercial and procurement sub-focus group.

I'm also the chair of pro-manchester's healthcare steering group and support with their annual healthtech conference, working alongside colleagues from within the Greater Manchester health and care ecosystem.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
