About me

I am a spirited and fastidious enabler of change on behalf of General Counsels, Chief Legal Officers, and Legal Leadership Teams. I have a track record of helping corporate legal departments to tackle a wide range of strategic, operational, financial, and technological challenges in order that they can grow, operate more effectively, and ultimately better demonstrate their value.

Wide-ranging challenges demand broad expertise. I combine my previous background as an ICAEW chartered accountant and then operational excellence consultant with several years of working with over 30+ corporate legal departments and law firms to provide a uniquely broad perspective that weaves together legal know-how, operational discipline, technological innovation, and financial rigour. 

As a flavour, I have delivered complex change programmes in in the UK, continental Europe, and North America: 

• Reviewing and reformulating legal strategies to better align to the strategic priorities of the business
• Developing accelerated and more risk-conscious tiered legal processes and workflows
• Redesigning legal operating and delivery models to right-size Legal's structure, teams, and talent
• Developing, measuring and reporting on legal KPIs and evidencing value
• Identifying and sequencing impactful legal technology opportunities into practical roadmaps
• 'Tooling up' your legal department by selecting and implementing best-fit technologies
• Supporting Legal to navigate complex corporate transactions to right-size, standardise, and/or create 'one-team'

I also co-lead our Deloitte UK and North & South Europe collaboration efforts with enterprise legal management and eBilling / spend management technology vendors.
