Vanessa was a talented and inspiring colleague who was highly respected and admired across Pinsent Masons. Her loss will be keenly felt throughout the firm.

Vanessa was a consummate professional and played a key role in helping grow Pinsent Masons over the last decade. Very much a specialist in her field, Vanessa was particularly knowledgeable and prominent in the leveraged finance market and, since joining in 2011, she made a significant contribution to the firm leading a team of finance lawyers in our London office. Vanessa was an intelligent and warm individual who was a dedicated and loving mother to her children and a good friend to so many of us.
