"Clients turn to me for my ability to understand and translate key legal considerations in the context of the relevant technology in a straightforward way."

"I specialise in the Insurance, Financial Services, TMT and Retail & Consumer sectors, each of which has its nuances. I have developed extensive experience of sector-related considerations as well as the regulation involved so as to be able to add value to clients.

Clients turn to me for my down to earth and pragmatic approach and my ability to understand and translate key legal considerations in the context of the relevant technology in a straightforward way. I am highly experienced in managing the multiple strands of larger IT projects and can suggest different ways of approaching the risks involved.     

The projects I work on typically include an international aspect given the inherent nature of the technology and services involved, with many of my clients having international operations."
