“In many ways, life is about the quality of our decision making.”

“I enjoy assessing complex risks and making  decisions others find difficult. In many ways, life is about the quality of our decision making.

I am good at understanding a client's business, the technical aspects of their work, and the projects they are involved in very quickly.  I can also spot the key issues in a case - and predict an opponent's arguments - at an early stage. That helps with strategy.

I am very frank in the advice I give, and explain it in simple terms. I also listen to my clients and ask them what they want, without making assumptions.

With client relationships, I think responsiveness is key, together with language that is simple and friendly.”
