I have been involved in a number of high profile public M&A transactions and capital raisings, including initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary raisings.

I advise across a broad range of industries, including agriculture, life sciences, professional services, IT, FMCG, resources and mining, travel and pharmaceuticals and always provide clear, concise and commercial advice to meet my clients’ needs.
