I am a Partner in the Private Wealth Corporate Law Team in London. I have considerable experience in all corporate transactions, but have a particular focus on working for international clients in relation to buying and selling businesses in England.
I also have experience in owner managed businesses, providing all types of corporate advisory services from everyday business law questions to buying and selling companies.
I entered the law as I had a big interest in corporates and having studied corporate law at University, I was intrigued by the interaction of company law with individuals and the cross over between individuals, their companies and what made successful businesses grow.
I enjoy the personal interaction with clients and being the trusted adviser to whom my clients can turn, many of whom I have known for many years and with whom you build an in-depth understanding of their businesses and goals which assists me in providing advice.
I like sport and have season tickets at Southampton FC. I am also interested in youth football having run a youth football team for many years. I enjoy swimming and running and have this year competed in 10 mile and half marathon events.

“The UK continues to be a highly attractive place in which to invest and it is clear that despite the uncertainty of Brexit, the economy has been very resilient and there are some recent examples of investment, such as Boeing’s £40m capital injection into a manufacturing site in Sheffield. “There is currently some nervousness from amongst foreign businesses which have previously invested in the UK, however with negotiations in relation to Brexit now moving forward, I’m confident that this will provide a boost to investment levels here in the future.”
“I was involved in setting up the DeriveXperts business at its inception over 15 years ago and my team has provided corporate advisory advice throughout the company’s life cycle. It was therefore particularly satisfying for Irwin Mitchell to be involved in assisting Francis with the sale of his company. Irwin Mitchell act for many owner managed businesses and are experts at providing advice throughout their life cycles and during the exit process itself.”
