ME IN A MINUTE

With over a decade of blended experience in both private practice and as in-house counsel

I have built a strong commercial awareness and understanding of business demands, enabling me to provide a holistic approach to legal matters and to deliver more client-focused and practical legal advice. 

I am always keen to fruitfully learn more about the various businesses of our different clients – what makes them tick, what are their pain points and how we can meaningfully work alongside our clients to achieve their goals.
