    /My focus

    I represent corporate and individual clients in government investigations, enforcement actions, and complex litigation across a variety of commercial sectors, including financial services, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, consumer credit, and healthcare. In addition to my investigation and litigation experience, I have experience advising clients on cybersecurity incident response, governance, and risk mitigation strategies.

    Prior to joining NP in 2024, I was an associate at another international law firm, where I focused on cybersecurity investigations and commercial litigation.

    /Looking ahead

It is crucial that companies deploying new technologies prepare for increased scrutiny from regulators and develop effective internal plans to identify potential misconduct related to such technologies.
