What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply my litigation and compliance expertise, work cross‑functionally on complex regulatory matters, support organisational risk management, and continue professional development in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

I am a solicitor with over seven years' experience in litigation, legal advisory, and compliance, providing practical, commercial legal support to businesses and public-sector teams.

I have drafted and negotiated a wide range of commercial contracts (NDAs, service agreements, joint development agreements) and advised on intellectual property, employment, tax, data protection and marketing claims under English law.

I have supported global teams on product, brand protection and regulatory matters, led compliance policy drafting and enforcement, and delivered risk assessments and GDPR/data-protection work, including breach management.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders, and bring strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills to ensure legal and operational objectives are met.
