I Joined Lawrence Stephens in December 2025 within the Real Estate Finance team. Prior to this, I was an in-house Asset Management paralegal for a Real Estate and Development company.

My experience is predominantly within commercial real estate having started in regional firms and progressing to a city firm in Dentons, dealing with commercial contracts, dealing with landlord/tenant transactions, acquisitions and disposals, financing and tax matters.

Outside of work, I love watching and playing sports, mainly football, F1 and cricket. I also enjoy playing games, taking part in pro-bono activities. I hold a single-propeller flying license so when weather permits, flying is my go-to activity.

I have extensive experience advising lenders and borrowers on all aspects of real estate finance. My practice includes domestic and cross-border transactions, spanning senior, mezzanine and whole loans.

My investment expertise encompasses all asset classes, from office spaces, retail units, mixed use and leisure facilities, industrial and business parks, hotels and PBSA, including landmark buildings and large portfolios. 

I excel in managing a wide range of development finance transactions, from large scale ‘ground up’ developments to small refurbishment projects. I also advise on planning assistance and development exit loans. 

My client base includes financial institutions, senior lenders, mezzanine lenders, and bridging financiers.

I have a deep understanding of the industry and I am focused on delivering high quality pragmatic advice on transactions, irrespective of size or complexity.
