What do you do for your clients ?
I started my career at Taylor Wessing advising private equity and corporate clients on M&A, private equity and general corporate matters, including advising Wahanda (subsequently rebranded to Treatwell) on its acquisition of multiple companies across Europe. In 2015 I moved in-house at Treatwell to set up the Legal function from scratch and led the Legal and People Operations teams during periods of huge change, including acquisitions, the sale of the business and the onset of Covid-19. I then acted for Event Genius as the Chief People Officer & General Counsel where I was responsible for the Legal and People team across Europe, North America and APAC. Achievements including overhauling the festival partner agreement and the customer facing T&Cs, auditing the employee option scheme, revising the corporate governance structure, and playing a key role in the sale of the business assets to Lyte and subsequent TUPE transfer and integration project that followed.
Legal Specialties
Having worked in-house for 8 years, my experience is broad and varied. I advise on day-to-day commercial, corporate and employment queries as well as longer term strategic projects.
I represent both companies and individuals and my experience covers a whole range of areas including fundraising, M&A, company secretarial support, corporate governance compliance, commercial contracts, consumer T&Cs, GDPR, employment (such as handling employee relations cases and compliant templates, policies and processes) and option scheme management and compliance.
