Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

Regulation is constantly expanding and changing in response the innovation and disruption within the financial sector.  I work closely with clients to ensure that they are prepared for these changes and react effectively to any regulatory or enforcement activity.

I am proud that Osborne Clarke is a founder member of CFAAR – the Crypto Fraud and Asset Recovery Network – which brings together industry knowledge and expertise in the crypto-space to develop best practice in disputes and drive forward the development of the law and regulation in this area.
