About
I am a Director based in the London Forensic Accounting and Valuation Services team. I trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with boutique firm Lee & Allen Consulting, where I worked on a large variety of disputes and investigations. I joined PwC’s Forensics Disputes team in 2014, where I focused on the quantification of damages in litigation and arbitration, as well as supporting PwC’s Restructuring & Insolvency and the Office of General Counsel teams. I joined Menzies in 2026.
My work has spanned various legal forums (e.g. LCIA, ICSID, AAA, High Court of England and Wales) and many different industries (e.g. telecommunications, financial services, hospitality and leisure, manufacturing, healthcare). My work has included the quantification of lost profits, wasted additional costs, wasted investment costs, and losses due to breach of warranty and diminution of share value. I have also worked on bilateral investment treaty claims, quantifying the fair market value of illegally expropriated assets and losses arising from a breach of fair and equitable treatment.
Whilst at PwC, I was one of the leaders driving the PwC International Arbitration Damages Study and co-authored a related article on interest awarded on damages in international arbitration.
Outside of work, I play second violin with the Sidcup Symphony Orchestra and perform in several concerts each year. I am also an active discus thrower with Bexley Athletic Club, where my children are members. I am proud to be the 2023 and 2024 Kent Women’s Over-50 Discus Champion and a Level 2 England Athletics Field Official.
