She acts for private equity-backed businesses, owner-managed companies and management teams on acquisitions, investments, disposals, corporate restructurings and strategic corporate advisory matters. Charlotte is a trusted adviser to clients on domestic and cross-border transactions, regularly co-counselling with international and magic circle firms to deliver coordinated, pragmatic advice across multiple jurisdictions.

Outside of work, Charlotte enjoys spending time with her young family and making the most of North Devon’s countryside and coastline.
