Professional background

Professional background

Clients value the pragmatism, confidence and business awareness I bring to matters. I am known for getting deals done in a calm, trusted and diplomatic manner, and for finding innovative and workable solutions for clients. 

In addition, I carry out a number of non-legal functions, including financial hygiene, mentoring, and mental health and wellbeing initiatives. I also volunteer as a LawCare Champion, speaking and writing on wellbeing issues in the legal profession. 

My family and I are fortunate enough to live in Yorkshire, and can often be found outdoors: walking, cycling or just enjoying the views. Nothing beats cresting the summit of a steep hill or pausing for a moment or two in a forest glade or by a waterfall. When not outside, we can often be found reading – our collective 'to be read' piles keep growing!

As technological capability and complexity increases exponentially, more and more organisations are turning to third parties to help them manage and streamline their business operations.
