Overview
I joined Cardiff School of Law and Politics as a lecturer in 2020. My main research interests lie in professional ethics, the lawyer-client relationship and suretyship. I have extensive research methods training and take a socio-legal approach to my research. I teach both Contract Law and Land Law at undergraduate level.

Research
Interests
I am particularly interested in professional ethics, the lawyer-client relationship, and social mobility and gender equality in the legal profession. I also have a keen interest to further investigate the legal rules and relationships between banks/lenders and the financially vulnerable.
