Becky acts for both claimants and defendants: her clients range from banks and large corporates to individuals. She has particular experience of disputes in the energy and banking and finance sectors.
Almost all of Becky's cases have a cross-border element. She often works alongside local counsel and manages English court proceedings alongside parallel proceedings in other jurisdictions. Becky has previously worked on cases involving the BVI, Hong Kong, the UAE, the Channel Islands, Switzerland, Japan and several South-East Asian jurisdictions.
Becky's most recent work includes acting for defendants in a multi-billion dollar conspiracy to defraud claim in the English Commercial Court, with related proceedings in numerous jurisdictions.
Alongside her fraud and asset recovery work, Becky has advised on professional negligence claims (claimant and defendant side), contractual disputes, financial mis-selling claims and regulatory investigations.
Becky studied English Literature at Oxford University before training as a lawyer. She spent nearly five years working at a "Magic Circle" law firm in London (including a six-month secondment to a global investment bank) before joining Stephenson Harwood.
