I enjoy working closely and collaboratively with my clients, understanding their businesses and aspirations, and supporting them through challenging issues or decisions

I am a corporate tax adviser to mid-market and entrepreneurial businesses.

I have a particular focus on clients in the retail and hospitality sectors, and co-lead our firm’s industry group in this space. I also work closely with various private equity-backed groups, providing year-round strategic tax advice and supporting them through pre-sale planning and transactions.

I advise clients on a broad range of domestic and cross-border issues, with a specialism in corporate reorganisations. This includes demergers, group simplifications, family investment company structures and other complex restructuring projects. My aim is always to provide solutions that are not only technically robust but also practical and clear.

I began my career at a small London firm, where I trained as an auditor and qualified as both a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser. I joined the Corporate Tax team at Blick Rothenberg in 2012 and was made a Partner in July 2023. In addition to my client work, I am a certified coach and actively support colleagues from across the firm with their professional development.

Outside of work, I love travelling and reading, and am an avid foodie and cinephile.
