Mourant LP Partner
I’m a Partner of Mourant LP and Practice Leader of our Funds team in our Jersey office. I'm also the Vice-Chair of the Jersey Funds Association (JFA) which is the industry association that represents Jersey's funds industry. I also Chair the JFA's Legal & Technical Sub-Committee.
I’ve worked in the funds and trust industry since 1997. Prior to joining Mourant Ozannes, I was a senior lawyer at Australia's largest investment fund manager, advising on areas of trust law, superannuation and managed investments for some of Australia's leading investment funds. I also have four years of commercial funds administration experience.
My practice focuses on real estate, private equity and venture capital funds, as well as private joint venture arrangements.
I regularly advise global fund promoters, joint ventures and international service providers across a variety of asset classes with a particular focus on overseas pension and sovereign fund investors investing into Europe.
