Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.I work with directors and shareholders of SMEs and family-owned businesses helping them understand their duties and responsibilities, avoid expensive litigation, and acting for them in sorting out disputes with each other or third parties. ► I am passionate about helping owners of SMEs, the true risk-takers and life-blood of our economy.► I relish using my 28 years of experience as a litigation solicitor and expertise in directors’ duties to ensure that directors and shareholders of SMEs can access to the same level of legal support that large companies get from big corporate law firms but without their big fees attached.► I enjoy providing business owners with clarity and direction in any legal issues. My goal is to ensure that directors and shareholders understand at the outset where they stand, agree on a strategy, and ensuring that disputes are resolved as quickly as possible and with minimal stress.I am excited to be a member of the LinkedIn community and am looking to partner and work with directors, shareholders and professional advisers to SMEs.Outside of workI love jazz music, good food, my fantastic family, and keeping up with current affairs and the latest political shenanigans.
