I am a senior employee incentives solicitor at Harper James. I graduated from the University of Durham and trained with the global law firm DLA Piper, where I worked as a qualified solicitor in the corporate department of the firm’s Leeds office for six years. I then joined a leading regional law firm before becoming part of Harper James in April 2015. I am a highly experienced lawyer with extensive private practice experience. Since qualifying in 2007, I have worked on a wide variety of corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments, joint ventures, partnerships, group reorganisations, corporate finance for AIM and main market listed companies, EMI share schemes, corporate governance, shareholders agreements, share buy backs, and advising on other provisions of the Companies Act 2006. Outside of work, I am an enthusiastic runner, having completed marathons and half marathons. Recently, I have added cycling and swimming to my routine and look forward to entering future races and triathlons.
