Non-Executive Director · Board Advisor · General Counsel

Uncommon Counsel

Broad enough to see the whole picture. Specialist enough to know which parts matter.

Most advisers build their career in one discipline only. Mine hasn't turned out like that.

I've run specialist funds, been a founder, a practising solicitor and a board chair. The result is that I've seen businesses from all angles and have been involved when things are going well, but also when they aren't.

I understand that businesses are made up of people and they need support.

I don't come with preconceived ideas. I come to understand the situation properly, offer an honest view and work through it together.
