I have been practising law since 2004 and specialise in the areas of insolvency, restructuring and property litigation.

I am an Associate Lecturer with the Open University, where I teach law, and am a regular contributor to the professional journal Corporate Rescue & Insolvency wherein I have written extensively on personal insolvency.
