I draft and negotiate shareholder, subscription and purchase agreements, convertible instruments, loan notes, consultancy and service agreements, and NDAs. I manage due diligence and data rooms, coordinate multi jurisdictional approvals and guide boards on governance and company secretarial matters.

Outside work my priority is spending quality time with my family. I am a keen sports fan and follow cricket, football and rugby. I enjoy hosting BBQs and I love to travel and explore new places and cultures. I am also a bit of a history enthusiast and enjoy digging into interesting facts and stories. Earlier in life I represented my country in age group hockey and played provincial cricket.
I believe in access to justice and have undertaken pro bono work in criminal law, providing representation for individuals who could not afford it.
