I specialise in Impact Finance, having joined Bates Wells in 2022 after having completed a masters in human rights law at UCL. Before this I worked as a banking lawyer at Simmons & Simmons and I trained at a magic circle firm.
I act for finance parties and borrowers, and have acted in multi-party syndicated transactions as well as smaller bilateral facilities.
I have advised on a wide variety of finance transactions including:
- General corporate lending, at investment, leveraged grade and for businesses early in their development lifecycle.
- Fintech corporate lending, including general corporate finance facilities and structured finance facilities acting for UK and US based corporate borrowers.
- Trade and commodities finance transactions, including receivables purchase arrangements, index swap financing and supply chain financing.
- Advising crowdfunding lenders on transactions for both domestic and international borrowers.
- Real estate development and acquisition finance for both domestic and European borrowers, particularly portfolios of commercial properties.
