Purpose & values
The practice exists to make senior legal judgement accessible to the people who carry the decision. How that judgement is delivered is set by three commitments.
Advice grounded in decades of sitting where the decision lands — weighing commercial reality against legal exposure, with risk and ambition designed together rather than reconciled afterwards.
Independent, candid counsel held to the standards of a UK lawyer. The same answer in the room as on the record — and the matter owned from first conversation to close.
Measured by outcomes — deals closed, disputes resolved, risk contained — and by a board decision that can be acted on, not by the length of the memo.
Why this practice exists
Having spent over two decades advising boards and executive teams inside large multinational organisations, I established this advisory practice to make that same level of strategic legal and governance expertise accessible to growing businesses — those that need experienced judgement without the cost of a full-time General Counsel.
