Consulting,
Advisory & Teaching

Some of the most important business questions sit beyond the boundaries of legal advice. I work with organisations, boards and leaders where specialist insight and broader commercial perspective can help shape what comes next.

These services are separate from my legal practice.

CONSULTING

My clients operate across different sectors and business models, but often face questions that cross traditional boundaries between law, insurance, regulation, technology and risk.

I work with a select range of organisations where that broader perspective can bring particular value. My consulting work can encompass:

+ RISK
+ EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
+ REGULATORY ENVIRONMENTS
+ PRODUCT INNOVATION
+ BUSINESS MODELS
+ STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING

Each engagement begins with a specific objective or question and is shaped around what the organisation is seeking to understand, develop or achieve.

TEACHING

I undertake selected teaching and educational engagements across areas including law, insurance, regulation and emerging technologies.

Drawing on practical experience across these fields, I connect technical subject matter with the commercial and strategic realities organisations are facing today.

This can include teaching, speaking and educational engagements for professional, academic and industry audiences.

I have held leadership, board and advisory roles across legal practice, technology, insurance and other organisations.

As an adviser or board member, I bring together legal, regulatory, insurance and commercial perspectives to support thoughtful decision-making, effective governance and long-term strategy.

I am particularly interested in organisations where technology, innovation, regulation and established business models are converging.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
Teaching, consulting, and advisory/board services are non-legal services, separate from my legal practice. They are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or any U.S. bar authority, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and the protections that apply to legal services - including attorney-client privilege and professional liability coverage for legal work - do not apply to them.
