About

I joined Howard Kennedy as a solicitor in the Business Crime and Regulation department in January 2016. I have represented clients under investigation for a range of business crime related issues including fraud, bribery and corruption and false accounting. I have experience of representing clients at interviews under caution and representing clients as an advocate at the Magistrates Court and the Crown Court. I have been involved in large scale investigations including FOREX, the SFO investigation against Swift and the Phone Hacking scandal. I have also gained experience in Judicial Review proceedings which includes proceedings brought against the CPS, the Police and HMRC. I also represent individuals concerned in professional discipline investigations brought by regulators such as the FCA, GMC, SRA and HCPC.

I completed my training contract at GCR under the supervision of Sean Curran (partner). As a trainee I worked extensively as a police station representative and a litigator. I qualified as a higher rights advocate and became a duty solicitor, and as such I gained a great deal of experience working as an advocate in the Magistrates Court and the Crown Court. I continued to work closely with Sean Curran and I gained valuable experience working on an array of criminal cases ranging from common assault to murder, and from theft to serious financial fraud. I worked extensively in representing journalists investigated as part of the major police investigations into phone hacking. I worked on several high profile business crime cases which was a great platform to progress my career in Business Crime and Regulation.
