  Dispute resolution lawyer with three years PQE: I work with charitable, commercial and private clients on governance and contract disputes, personal injury litigation, shareholder disputes, legacy disputes and IP matters. Recent highlights include the recovery of fraudulently misappropriated funds, where I advised the charity on reputational, regulatory and public interest issues. I oversaw the timely delivery of action points, reporting obligations, ways to preserve funding status and future audits. I also collaborated with US teams and liaised with the Charity Commission, on a highly sensitive matter that revealed the diversion of funds to a possible terrorist organisation. Here, I provided guidance on reputational issues and serious incident reporting. My commercial exposure has been international, and I have contributed to arbitral work in the London Court of International Arbitration, where I supported a partner on extortion and fraud proceedings. This led to a significant award in favour of our client and anticipated recovery of assets in BVI. Show less
