While my academic background is in international & comparative law and languages, I have experience in administrative, family, civil & criminal law. This has involved working in the courts, representing children as a guardian ad litem, taking Bills through parliament, developing justice policy, briefing ministers, working with members of parliament and the Lords, with the judiciary, representing the UK at EU and international symposiums, managing prime government contracts, developing & maintaining close relationships with stakeholders, and managing and leading teams. I take pride in representing the government of the day (there have been a fair few!) and in sharing expertise in my subject areas. My objective is to always work at something I am passionate about, to hopefully fulfil my creative urges, and to value others.Specialties: Managing Government grants & contracts; Civil and criminal enforcement;Cross-border European Enforcement Directives; Regulatory reform sanctions; Policy development in Government.Islamic Law;International & Comparative Law;Translator - French & Arabic languages;
