I joined Lawrence Stephens in April 2026 as a Partner in the Private Wealth and Succession Planning team. Prior to joining Lawrence Stephens I have been part of, and grown and led, private client teams and been a key ambassador in the wider private wealth sectors.
I have experience in looking after individuals, families, and family businesses who need help with asset protection, succession and estate planning, trusts and family investment companies, family governance and capital taxes. I have also helped charities, trustees and beneficiaries, and family offices. As well as non-contentious advice, I have experience in helping clients with contentious matters, particularly where the softer skills of negotiation and navigation of trigger issues is needed to avoid litigation, and supporting dispute resolution colleagues with fully litigious matters.
A lot of my work over the years has had an international dimension, and I advise both UK and international clients.

I joined Lawrence Stephens’ Resident Real Estate team in 2025. I specialise in all aspects of residential property work, including freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, remortgages, licences to alter and transfers of equity.
My main practice is in prime central London, acting for individuals, UK and international companies with a focus on high net worth transactions.
I have developed long standing relationships with many of my clients as their property interests evolve and become more extensive and complex. I enjoy working with other teams within the firm, such as Private Wealth, to ensure all my transactions proceed as smoothly as possible and clients receive the advice they need.
Experience highlights
- Completing a bridging loan refinance in two weeks over a £7million property.
- Notting Hill property sale exchanging in four days for a developer client.
- Refinance of a complex property portfolio in central London with a combined value of £20million.
