I am a barrister in London specialising in digital asset disputes in the context of a broader commercial, company, fraud and insolvency practice. As a barrister I am a specialist advocate, regularly appearing on behalf of clients in High Court, and I also have a significant advisory practice providing clients with advises on the merits, on settlement parameters, and acting for them in settlement forums.

I have been involved in some of the first cryptocurrency-related matters in England & Wales, acting in a bitcoin misappropriation case for a respondent to a worldwide freezing order which we successfully challenged, and advising liquidators on digital asset aspects of a company liquidation. 

‍

I have regularly been asked to speak on the topic of cryptocurrency, including this year at London International Disputes Week, at a CFAAR event on mis-selling cryptocurrencies and by the Tech Disputes Network in a podcast roundup of interesting recent cases in the area. I have been published in the Journal of International Banking and Finance Law on the topic of the bona fide purchaser of misappropriated cryptocurrencies and was cited by the Law Commission in their report on Digital Assets in 2023. I am also due to speak at an event organised by the Society of Computer Law on Artificial Intelligence and a joint event held by Tech Disputes Network and the Female Fraud Forum (of which I am a committee member).

I am always happy to be contacted about opportunities and would love to be able to promote other women in the space as well.
