I joined Lawrence Stephens in July 2024 as a paralegal in the Disputes Resolution team.
I bring over 20 years’ experience to the firm, having previously worked at a top West End law firm as a legal secretary within the Dispute Resolution department, dealing with property litigation and insolvency, bankruptcy and restructuring.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking and spending time with my two daughters.
I’ve worked for solicitors in the City of London for over 40 years. Described by my clients as “the least lawyer-like lawyer” they’ve seen, my refreshing preference for plain-speaking and down-to-earth manner inspire trust.
My particular strength is in resolving problems in an efficient, speedy and economical way. I have extensive experience in business crime, commercial litigation, Revenue matters and extradition work.
I’m a member of BASL and represent several sports people, primarily in football; both playing and management staff. I’ve acted on matters before the FA disciplinary panel and its appeal panel as well as extensive FA investigations.
Recently, I successfully concluded major extradition case after a 21-year battle arising from one of the largest civil litigation matters ever heard by the English Court, involving multi-jurisdictional claims.
I have obtained a multi-million-pound judgment for a major business figure establishing fraud and forgery by the defendant within the civil court. I’ve also brought to the firm an excellent network of contacts together with a loyal client following, some of whom I have acted for in excess of 40 years.
When time allows for outside interests, I enjoy watching football (this is in spite of being a Crystal Palace season ticket holder), motor sport and travel. I’ve been married for over 40 years and have 2 grown up children and 2 wonderful grandchildren.
