Profile

I joined the University of Leeds as a Lecturer in January 2021. Prior to this I was a Teaching Fellow at University College London (UCL), between 2017 and 2020. I was a partner of the international law firm, Linklaters, from 2001 to 2017, in London and Hong Kong, specialising in international finance.

I obtained an LLB (1990) and an LLM (2018) from UCL, and in 2018 I commenced a PhD at UCL, an empirical study of the ethics and professionalism of corporate lawyers.
