Bird & Bird

I am the head of the firm's International Commercial Group, and established the cyber-security team back in 2010. I am a commercial lawyer engaged in providing a full spectrum of legal support to clients for their day to day business.

Whilst that support has a broad scope, including the buying or selling of goods and services and the outsourcing of business processes, a constant feature of my work is technology. I work in the core of Bird & Bird's sweet spot - assisting businesses to rise to the challenge of technological change.

I began my legal career as a litigator across a whole range of commercial disputes, often with an IT flavour. This combination of contentious and non-contentious experience enables me to bring real flexibility to the table, along with a valuable perspective to both strategy and negotiation.

Over the years, I've built-up significant expertise in outsourcing in the domestic, near shore and far shore markets. I can also offer deep-level experience in complex IT transactions and IT procurement, much of it in financial services.

I am recommended by Legal 500 for my expertise in Commercial Contracts and was recently named in Business Today's Top Ten list for UK Commercial Contract Lawyers, 2023. I also continue to be ranked as Data Expert for Data – Information Technology in WWL: Data.
