About

Tamara advises clients on a broad range of corporate transactions. She specialises in UK public M&A and recently spent two years on secondment to the UK Takeover Panel, acting as a senior regulator for UK public M&A transactions.

Tamara advises clients on public and private mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments and corporate restructurings, as well as general corporate and listed company matters. She acts for corporate, private capital and investment banking clients across a range of sectors. 

From 2021 to 2023, Tamara was seconded to the UK Takeover Panel where she acted as a senior regulator for transactions governed by the City Code. She was the senior case officer on many of the highest profile UK public M&A transactions during that time, including EQT and Luxinva's offer for Dechra Pharmaceuticals, Schneider Electric's offer for AVEVA Group and the competing offers for Stagecoach Group by DWS Infrastructure and National Express. She participated in all material case and policy decisions taken by the Panel Executive and led a consultation process regarding important amendments to the City Code. In 2018, she was seconded to Goldman Sachs, advising its EMEA Merchant Banking Division.

In 2019, Tamara was featured in Legal Week's "40 under 40: The Rising Stars in Private Equity" and in 2024 she was named as one of Law.com International’s “Female Rising Stars 2024”.
