WISLaw
Partner at global law firm Squire Patton Boggs where I lead our dedicated women’s sport group. I am recognised particularly for work in sports, media and ESG (including renewables and climate change). I advise on strategic and legal risk, coordinate complex projects and manage stakeholders. I am an expert in complex and high value cross-border disputes, including in the CAS. I also advise high profile clients on reputational risk and management, including as a material factor in the strategic direction of business interests.
Recognised as a ‘Next Generation Partner’ by The Legal 500 where I am described as “calm, unflappable, hugely diligent and absolutely focused”. I also feature in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch UK, and am described by clients as “sharp, proactive and extremely personable” and “a brilliant solicitor – the sort of person round whom the rest of the legal team gravitates and on whom it depends”.
My expertise extends to all types of ADR, including mediations involving multiple stakeholders and complex expert determination processes. I am at ease with the challenges that change and growth present both at an operational and managerial level. I am confident working in a cross-jurisdictional environment. I regularly advise and collaborate with international stakeholders, including those based in challenging jurisdictions or countries with diverse cultural norms.
Clients value my proactive and common-sense approach, clear communication skills, vigilance and calm and personable demeanour. I build strong relationships and meet challenges head-on, and am relied upon as a go-to person for troubleshooting issues and resolving taxing problems. I am adept at negotiating tough positions under pressure, including via mediations involving multiple stakeholders.
I serve on the Board of Directors of Alliance for International Women's Rights and on the Stakeholder Advisory Committee for non-profit Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports. I have also spent time working in Paris, Rome and Milan. During a secondment to Royal Dutch Shell I advised executive stakeholders and supported all areas of the organisation on highly strategic matters across multiple jurisdictions.
