About me

Some things you might want to know before you engage my services My Background
My Background

I came into the law to help people. For the first few years I worked mainly in Legal Aid challanging decisions by Local Authorities. I soon relaised that its not only the most obviously vulnerable people in society who need help with the law. I started to take on more commercial cases and developed a particular specialism in Construction, Planning and Property Law. I still keep a broad practice, I have recently taught Media Law at the BBC, and whilst I don't do Legal Aid work anymore I still take Pro Bono cases through the Bar Pro Bono Unit. As a Barrister I still think I help people, by providing them with clear, accurate legal advice and representation when its needed.
