After studying law at the University of Leicester, followed by a post-graduate degree in commercial law at Cambridge University, I worked in private practice in the City of London where I specialised in banking and capital markets law.
I also qualified to practice as a solicitor in Australia and worked at Australian national firm Clayton Utz, where I focused mostly on banking law.
Since 2003 when I joined Whitehead Monckton’s corporate law team, I have specialised in corporate transactions and all other aspects of company and commercial law.
I have expertise in:
I am an Independent Critical Incident Advisor for Kent Police.

"We are both grateful for your valued input today in enabling the sale completion. Our thanks, as I expressed to you also, is to go to Nicholas and Daniel for their professional attention at all times, throughout this sales transaction."

I enjoy travelling and take any opportunity to go kayaking and snorkelling when in warmer climes, particularly in Israel when visiting family and friends.
