Connecting You To Great Lawyers 

​

I qualified as a solicitor in 2013, and I bring extensive expertise from international and Top 100 UK firms to my role as in-house legal counsel in Dubai.

 

My experience includes contentious matters, including pre-action protocols, negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and litigation across various UK courts and the DIFC Courts in Dubai, and applying the LCIA Rules and DIAC Rules in arbitration. 

 

Additionally, I provide non-contentious  commercial legal advice, leveraging my litigation background to identify potential risks for clients.

 

I have served clients in diverse industries such as F&B, Retail, Emerging Tech, Blockchain, Precious Metals Mining, International Trade and Commodities. My main focus has shifted to Fintech, Blockchain, and AI, and I have a passion for working with founders in tech start-ups. 

​

From working at the coalface of complex disputes in private practice, to working as in-house legal counsel,  I now deal with company incorporations, corporate governance, M&A and restructuring, licensing, strategy, and drafting legal documentation. I pride myself on my leadership qualities and my ability to collaborate with key stakeholders, including C-suite, full-stack developers, and marketing teams, to add value to projects. 

 

The Linking Lawyer website was set up to showcase my expertise when I first started consultancy work. Whilst I no longer work on my own account, as I work as in-house legal counsel, I still prioritise clients' access to the right legal representation and can refer clients to other reputable lawyers in my network.
