Who we are

I am Nicky Gaffney and I am a Senior Consultant at SZ Greenfields. I support our clients by establishing and building a consistent legal infrastructure within their organisation. This enables their businesses to operate more efficiently, reduces risk and establishes a more bankable and investable business.

I  have worked as a Solicitor in City firms and as in-house Counsel within operating companies. My experience includes acquisitions, property finance and development, employment, commercial contracts, company secretarial, out-sourcing and other general corporate issues.

My clients have encompassed a wide range of sectors from government to finance, retail, leisure, logistics, energy, commercial property, and construction.

I have acted for Banks on financings in excess of £1billion and for FTSE 100 companies on acquisitions, disposals and property developments. My clients have included RBS, Nat West, the UK Government, Gap Inc., Tesco, Prudential, Nomura, Berkeley Homes, British Land and Meridian Hotels.

I set up and ran the European legal department, head-quartered in the UK, of an international conglomerate, assuming responsibility for all its legal matters across the UK, France, Portugal and Austria whilst at the same time overseeing high value international acquisitions, disposals and property re-developments.

In addition to being a lawyer, I have qualified to be able to support deprived families with young children, and founded a successful floristry business which remains a creative outlet.

I am Shonu Das and I am a Senior Consultant at SZ Greenfields. I help our clients negotiate and document transactions and contractual matters in all kinds of corporate, commercial and finance matters.

I am an experienced corporate/commercial lawyer with over a decade’s experience in magic circle and big US firms in London and Singapore, working on acquisitions, sales and joint venture transactions into billions of dollars and all aspects of the debt, equity and capital market financing relating to those transactions. I have a Masters in Law from the University of Cambridge.

Apart from my legal work I am a singer-songwriter and guitarist and an avid sports enthusiast. I enjoy running and yoga and have played first class cricket as well as rugby and rugby sevens at a national level.

I am Xin Wang and I have a special focus on Chinese-related matters.

I have obtained qualifying law degrees both in China and in England. As a member of the PRC Bar, I’ve worked for two international companies. My experience includes mergers & acquisitions, foreign investments in China and Chinese enterprises overseas investments.

Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan and keen cyclist. I used to cycle from Shanghai to Hangzhou, a city around 200 kilometres away.

I am Michael Panggabean and I am a paralegal at SZ Greenfields.

I joined SZ Greenfields as an administrative assistant and am training to be a paralegal. Before working at SZ Greenfields, I worked at a management consultancy in Indonesia for Japanese clients. I performed research on due diligence, regulation, and potential business partners for Japanese companies entering the Indonesian market. Currently I am assisting Steven with legal research and a range of paralegal assignments on various matters.

Before coming to the UK to continue with my graduate studies, I studied Politics and Economics as an undergraduate in Japan. As a result I have good working knowledge of Japanese as well as English and Indonesian.

While I am not working as a paralegal, I enjoy baking and learning about ancient scripts and history. During High School, I taught myself the runic alphabet, Elder Futhark, and even wrote some of my notes in runes!

I am Tony Jones and I am responsible for keeping the accounts in order.

I am a “Big 4” trained Chartered Accountant and experienced financial director with 25 years of experience across a broad range of companies and organisations.

I've worked for owners, private equity, venture capital, UK and international family-owned business and quoted groups and a diverse range of sectors from automotive parts manufacturing through retail to museums.

Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan and keen traveller. I am now taking advantage of my children leaving home to see the world, tying it in with as many major sporting events as I can.
