“My focus is always on turning the theoretical into real-life advice.”

“Fundamentally, I make complex issues accessible and understandable for clients and our own lawyers. My focus is always on turning the theoretical into real-life advice. In my book, it's all about really listening to what the client is asking for, and delivering commercial and pragmatic advice. 

"I bring deep sectoral and practice area knowledge to client matters, which I then translate into client training and external publications. I'm a key author on the firm's AI Guide where I co-wrote the sections on commercial and data advisory. 

"Tech is a fascinating sector to be involved in, especially at the moment. We're seeing a confluence of ground-breaking technologies (like AI) and wide-ranging efforts to regulate these technologies in the UK, EU and beyond. I carry out constant horizon-scanning in order to spot potential issues and developments early on for clients. Being proactive helps our clients manage this complex regulatory landscape. I also support the team in establishing strong working relationships with partner firms abroad through the exchange of know-how and training.

"Internally, I'm heavily involved in our firm's AI implementation project and regularly participate in pilots and testing. My experiences here inform my advice to clients and, in this way, I bring valuable expertise to our clients' AI strategy.
