Supporting Laidlaw Scholars at the University of Leeds For more than ten years, I’ve managed the Laidlaw Programme at Leeds, guiding scholars through transformative research projects and leadership development. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where students from all backgrounds can explore their potential, challenge themselves, and grow as ethical leaders. I love working with scholars, academics, and partners across the global Laidlaw network to build a community that values curiosity, integrity, and positive change.
I am a 2022 Laidlaw Scholar from the University of Leeds. My research is all about commerical and insolvency law, testing the assumption that "the insolvency of the principal terminates the agency relationship whilst the insolvency of the agent terminates the relationship only if it makes him unfit to perform his duties". Basically, how does an agent (e.g. the UK seller of Australian wine) running out of or being low on money effect contractual relationships.
Technical bits aside, in my spare time I love to be active - particularly endurance sports.
I am also an avid follower of UK and US politics, with an emphasis on constitutional affairs and defence/foreign policy.
