Corporate, commercial and transactional experience

​

I have advised businesses across technology, automation, engineering, manufacturing, construction, property and professional services.

​

My experience includes advising on the £5 million acquisition of an automation company by a US purchaser, the £1 million acquisition of a technology company specialising in mechanical power transmission and bespoke lifting, lowering and motion-control systems, and a £1.3 million purchase of shares in a UK-based motor claim and accident repair management company. I have also advised on a complex joint venture between English and Romanian companies, and business market entry.

​

I regularly negotiate and draft manufacturing, supply, distribution, agency, representation and other commercial agreements, advising on contractual risk, intellectual property, warranties, liability, performance, termination and the wider commercial relationship.

​

My employment work also forms part of my wider commercial and corporate advice, particularly where business acquisitions, restructurings, changes in ownership, senior appointments or contractual disputes have implications for employees and directors. I take a practical approach, helping clients understand their legal obligations while managing the wider commercial, operational and relationship considerations involved.

​

Technology, manufacturing and supply chains

​

I have particular experience advising businesses in semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, engineering, technology and complex supply chains.

​

I provide commercial and contractual advice, including drafting and negotiating manufacturing, supply, master supply, distribution, agency and exclusive and non-exclusive representation agreements, together with employment advice and support on contractual disputes.

​

I am experienced in drafting master supply agreements for a UK manufacturer of energy-efficient cooling systems for data centres, supercomputers and high-performance computing enterprises, including supply into the US.

​

This work requires an understanding not only of contract law, but of the commercial realities of international supply chains, manufacturing, delivery, customer relationships and continuity of supply.

​

Construction, property and disputes

​

My construction experience includes advising on property development, building contracts, major commercial arrangements and construction disputes, with experience drafting and negotiating both standard-form and bespoke construction contracts tailored to the requirements of individual projects. I have advised developers, businesses and other stakeholders on contractual structures, risk allocation, payment provisions, variations, delays, defects, completion and liability, helping clients manage the legal and commercial risks that arise throughout the development and construction process.

​

I have also advised on a multi-million-pound contract for the installation of a solar electricity farm in South East Asia, construction works connected with the development and leasing of a property on The Strand in London, property acquisitions and development matters, including transactions involving properties in the Barbican, and on significant commercial property arrangements and leases. This combination of construction, property and commercial experience gives me a practical understanding of how legal, financial and development considerations need to work together to achieve a successful project.

​

Good commercial legal advice should do more than explain the law. It should help business owners and directors understand risk, identify opportunities, negotiate effectively and make confident commercial decisions. My role is to bring together the legal and commercial picture so that clients can make decisions with a clear understanding of both the opportunities and the risks.

​

High-trust advice. Commercial clarity. Personal attention.
