About Melanie
Melanie advises on a broad range of corporate, commercial and individual disputes, and represents clients in litigation, arbitration and mediation.
Much of her advice involves ‘dispute avoidance’ and developing risk management solutions in order to identify and mitigate risk at an early stage. She is known for giving highly commercial and practical advice, which always focuses on her client’s key objectives, be they commercial, financial or reputational.
A significant part of Melanie’s work centres on contentious Information Law matters including Intellectual Property disputes, contentious Data Protection advice, Cyber-Response, and Reputation Management. Melanie has also represented both corporate and individual clients at coroners’ inquests and public inquiries.
Melanie also acts for individuals and families in contentious trusts and probate matters, shareholder and succession disputes, and disputes sitting at the intersection of personal and corporate lives.
