What can I do for you

I am an experienced banking and finance lawyer, who acts for a wide range of corporate borrowers, banks, building societies and other financial institutions. I advise on all aspects of banking and finance transactions, including secured and unsecured lending, structured finance, acquisition and leveraged finance, mezzanine finance, investment property and development finance, project finance and PFI.
I have also spent time in industry working for The Royal Bank of Scotland plc/National Westminster Bank plc in their Transaction Management and Advisory Team and so I am well versed at seeing matters/transactions from the client’s perspective and understanding clients’ real needs and drivers.

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.
