I pride myself on being detail orientated and being fully attuned to my client’s needs. My approach is centred on delivering high quality, personalised service to ensure each client’s unique circumstances and needs are understood and addressed. I strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for the clients I help, working diligently to protect and advance their interests. By combining my expertise with a deep commitment to client care, I aim to provide effective and practical legal solutions.

Expertise

I have experience in assisting clients on a wide variety of disputes including asset recovery, civil fraud, and defamation. I have experience of progressing claims to trial, as well as summary judgment and jurisdictional hearings.

I started my legal career as a paralegal at a legal clinic in Chester before moving to a London law firm that specialised in debt recovery, bankruptcy and insolvency. After I completed my Graduate Diploma in Law, LPC and MSC (Law & Business) at the University of Law in Chester, I trained and qualified at a London law firm where I worked on high value litigation and dispute resolution matters both in the High Courts of England & Wales, as well as international courts including, the Court of First Instance in Norway and the Eastern Caribbean Courts. I joined Debenhams Ottaway’s commercial litigation and dispute resolution team in 2024.
