My Story
My journey has taken me across the UK, US, Singapore, and Australia, giving me a broad perspective. Returning to the English countryside and London has been a homecoming—both personally and professionally.
​
It is a profound privilege to help people in their hour of need and to make a lasting, positive impact on families and businesses.
​
Beyond my legal career, I am a software architect, business owner, husband, and father. I have started, bought, and sold businesses, raised equity finance, and navigated the complexities of commercial ventures and a divorce. This, along with raising four children in a blended family, has given me firsthand insight into the legal and emotional challenges many of my clients face.
I am also passionate about ideas, history, psychology, and the evolving impact of technology on society. My work in developing legal tech platforms combines these interests.
​
In my private life, I torment my wife by critiquing the newspapers out load, walk our dog, sing (badly), and take photographs—although our Springer Spaniel, Scout, seems to be my only willing subject… if he stays in the frame!
