Her practice also encompasses advising on insurance matters, including incorporation of commercial insurers and equity and debt financings of insurers and insurance groups, as well as private placements, listed debt offerings and IPOs.
She is recognised as an expert in her field by both Chambers and Legal 500 with market sources recognising her considerable experience in securities and insurance work.
