I am a Director in LawDeb's Corporate Secretarial Services business. I have a particular focus on delivering Board and Committee governance to clients within financial services and other regulated sectors.
I offer a broad range of listed, regulated and compliance advisory capabilities which will benefit our clients dealing with increasingly complex governance challenges and regulatory engagement, including, for example, in relation to Skilled Person (s.166) Reviews and Information Requests. My technical skills, market knowledge and experience help to identify innovative solutions that will have a material impact for our clients.
