Short Biography

I am Counsel in the litigation team at Mourant in Jersey. I have broad experience in general commercial and trusts litigation, having worked on high profile and ultra-high value matters in both Jersey and the UK. I qualified and practised at a large transatlantic law firm in the UK (during which time I completed three different client secondments), and spent two years working in another top-tier litigation team in Jersey. I have extensive contentious trusts experience, including acting for both individual beneficiary plaintiffs and defendant professional fiduciaries in relation to cross-jurisdictional and ultra-high value structures and disputes. I have also acted in a number of regulatory matters, including appeals against regulator decisions, disclosures to local and foreign authorities (including under the tax information exchange legislation), and compliance with international sanctions.
