I qualified as a Solicitor in 2019 having previously worked in the property department of a City law firm for a number of years. I joined Lawrence Stephens’ Real Estate Finance department at the start of 2023.
I have experience in dealing with a variety of matters related to real estate, for both freehold and leasehold properties as well as new developments advising individual and corporate clients. I have focused on working with regulated and unregulated banks for property refinances, bridging loans and secured lending. My experience includes acting on behalf of lenders as well as borrowers and strives to understand the needs of my clients.
In my spare time, I enjoy travelling and exploring new cultures and foods and, in particular, a nature walk around the Cotswold’s. I also love a friendly game of squash or tennis with my friends.

I advise on all aspects of residential property transactions, from acting for freehold and leaseholders to first time purchasers and high value land estates. I also work with investment companies to increase their portfolio of properties.
My clients include individuals, HNWs, trustees and overseas clientele. I am focused on ensuring that my clients receive a service tailored to their needs so that they achieve their desired result.
The service that I provide is personal and flexible to ensure that my clients are confident that their sale and/or purchase is carried out thoroughly and efficiently. As well as drafting, reviewing and negotiating all the necessary documentation, I will conduct the relevant in-depth searches on my client’s behalf to minimise any risks during their transactions.
I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures and cuisines. There are still several countries that I wish to explore on my bucket list! I am also a keen writer and hope one day to be able to write a novel… I will finish your purchase first though!

Away from the office, I am a keen foodie – passionate about all things related to food from fine dining and champagne brunches to street food and experimenting with new recipes. I also enjoy hosting dinners, reading and running when time permits and am at my happiest when spending quality time with family and friends.
