Why did you decide to become an M&A lawyer? Was there anyone in particular who inspired you early on in your career?
Once I had decided to become a lawyer there was never a doubt that I would specialise in M&A. When I was younger, I wanted to be in the cCty and to work on deals on the front page of the FT.

It was a great source of disappointment when I realised that lawyers never get mentioned in the FT of course… but by then it was too late.
