I am a partner in the London Corporate Financial Institutions Group of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP.
I have varied experience in the insurance and financial services sectors with both cross-border and domestic transactional, restructuring and advisory work for a range of listed and unlisted corporate and institutional clients.

Recent highlights of my transactional experience include advising:
* BMO Financial Group on its £708m offer for F&C Asset Management plc;
* Sompo Japan on its proposed acquisition of Canopius Insurance;
* TDR Capital LLP on its acquisition of MGM Advantage;
* the London Metal Exchange on its £1.388bn acquisition by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited;

* Discovery Holdings Limited on its acquisition of Standard Life Healthcare;
* Barclays Bank PLC in connection with its acquisitions of Standard Life Bank PLC and the Goldfish credit card business of Discover Financial Services;
