“I have been described as no-nonsense and hands-on in my advice”
“I qualified as a solicitor in 1999 and initially worked as a litigator. I have since transferred these skills into the world of risk management, ethics, and compliance.
I have worked at a number of international law firms. Before joining RPC, I worked as Deputy General Counsel at Dentons UK and Middle East, and also at Matthew Arnold & Baldwin, where I was a Partner and Head of Professional Standards and COLP.
I have been described by my colleagues as practical and measured; no-nonsense and hands-on in my advice; an excellent facilitator of the firm’s interests; commercial, pragmatic, professional – and a truly rare leader.”
