What I do:
I help clients get the most out of their two most valuable assets – their employees and their data. As an employment lawyer, I help companies and senior executives on all aspects of the employment relationship. On the data protection/privacy side, I work with companies trying to comply with all of the many privacy laws worldwide. I help them develop strategies for managing their data that enable them to meet both their business objectives and legal obligations.

Why Cooley:
It was very exciting to join Cooley when it launched in London in 2015.  I’ve seen how we’ve been able to leverage Cooley’s excellent reputation to build out a stellar practice in London.

What my clients value:
I aim to provide clients with practical, real-world solutions to complex problems. I like to partner with clients and build long-term, enriching relationships.

Likes:
I love walking in the countryside with my family and dogs – nature is a great de-stresser and antidote to the pressures of work.

Great reads:
I love cleverly constructed fiction, such as Iain Pears’ “An Instance of the Fingerpost.” For nonfiction, I’m very interested in how people make decisions and recently enjoyed Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” and “Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness” by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein.
