Daisy specialises in high-value, cross-border commercial litigation. Her particular expertise includes asset recovery and enforcement (including interim relief), often in the context of Jersey trusts; corporate and partnership disputes; and insolvency applications and advice.

Daisy has a particular passion for ADR, and regularly achieves substantial success for clients through negotiated settlement, and mediation.

Working in partnership with Collas Crill's leading regulatory and corporate teams, she has also advised on issues concerning international tax cooperation treaties, the obligations of corporate services providers and trustees, and the duties of directors.

Experience

Daisy has first-hand experience working in a number of jurisdictions including Scotland, England and Wales, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and Jersey. Her nuanced understanding of different legal systems informs Daisy's approach, meaning that she manages large-scale cross-border disputes extremely effectively. Daisy is a strong team player and listens carefully to clients, to ensure the right strategy for the dispute at hand.

Background

Daisy originally qualified as a solicitor and notary public in Scotland. She is a Jersey Advocate and has been admitted to the roll of solicitors in England and Wales, and the BVI (currently non-practising). 

Before moving offshore Daisy advised on commercial disputes in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, predominantly concerning contract law; intellectual property; and professional negligence, often working with third party litigation funders. Daisy has also worked as a Legal Assistant to the Judicial Institute for Scotland, and as an assistant to Leading Counsel.

Strengthening her litigation practice, Daisy has always enjoyed teaching. She has tutored Contract Law and Unjustified Enrichment on the LLB programme at the University of Edinburgh, and Intellectual Property as part of the Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice at the University of Strathclyde.

Daisy is also a musician, having worked as a violinist and instrumental instructor in the West Highlands of Scotland prior to qualifying as a solicitor.
