Biography
I have been a Lecturer in Private Law at the University of Aberdeen since February 2022. I initially joined the School of Law as a Teaching Fellow in September 2021.
I was a Tutor in Civil Law at the University of Edinburgh from 2018 to 2021. I hold an LLB Hons (in law and politics), LLM (in comparative and European private law) and PhD (in legal history), all from the University of Edinburgh.
I am an Advance HE Associate Fellow, a member of the council of the Stair Society and an associate member of the Society of Advocates in Aberdeen. Outside of academia, I am a member of the Children's Panel. I grew up in Bridge of Earn, Perthshire.

Research Overview
My research interests lie mainly in the law of obligations (contract and tort/delict). Recent publications have concerned good faith in Scots contract law and the protection of privacy interests in the Scots law of delict. I am currently researching third party rights in contract, mutuality in Scots contract law, and unconscionable dealing in English contract law.
I am interested in Dutch-Roman law and the historical relationships between Scottish and Dutch lawyers in the 16th-18th centuries. I follow developments in modern jurisdictions with a Dutch-Roman influence, such as South Africa.
Funding and Grants
I am grateful for the support of the Scottish Universities Law Institute Early Career Fellowship, which I received in 2023.
