"I enjoy the challenge of applying the competition rules in the consumer goods / retail and tech sectors."

"My focus is on understanding clients' issues and providing clear commercial advice to help solve problems. I work as part of a team to ensure advice is concise and clearly understood.

I enjoy the challenge of applying the competition rules in the consumer goods / retail and tech sectors. In ever-changing tech markets, understanding the products and markets is particularly challenging but critical to applying the rules.

Key to my role is getting to know our client's business and what they want need from their lawyers.  To do this I keep listening and check periodically for feedback."
