Legal counsel
When you need it

Available as a fractional general counsel, or on a project basis.

How I can help

Pragmatic. Very commercial.
Always looking for solutions.

Growing companies often need experienced legal counsel before they’re ready for a full-time hire. A fractional arrangement, or project-by-project support, fills that gap.

Experienced counsel, without the full-time hire

Over 20 years’ experience and three senior in-house roles, available to growing companies that need experienced counsel but aren’t ready for a full-time hire.

A broad generalist practice

Experience across biotech, financial services and internet infrastructure. I can work with your team to help with IP, commercial contracts, R&D, employment law, data protection and dispute resolution.

Commercial contracts, structured well from the outset

Experience in structuring commercial contracts properly from the start, so issues don’t surface later - for example, if the company wants to raise money or be sold.

Boards and governance

Experience with boards of all shapes and sizes - PLC, VC-backed and private - advising on corporate governance, risk, conflicts of interest, M&A and company secretarial matters.

A flexible relationship

Built around
your business

We start with a free phone consultation about your business, your current legal needs and where you want to go. From there, we agree a scope and a way of working that fits.
