Me in a minute
I enjoy tackling complex problems and finding creative solutions for clients, whether they be individuals or corporates
My journey into law was unconventional, with a decision to retrain not coming until my early 30s. After working with many lawyers during my previous roles it was during the GDL that I developed a passion for the intellectual rigour and creativity that exists within the law.
I have always had a wide breadth of interests (some would say too many). In law I have found a career that satisfies my desire to constantly develop, evolve and learn new things. I enjoy tackling complex problems and finding creative solutions for clients, whether they be individuals or corporates. In particular I am interested in areas where you have to handle not just the legalities but also the cadence and variety of human emotion, making Withers the perfect fit.
Outside of work you'll find me doing some sport of some kind or honing my cooking skills. I live in SW London with my wife and cat.
