About My Role

I am Chief Executive for the Strategic Client Relationships division within Irwin Mitchell.

In 2011 I was recognised as one of the leaders in my field after being named in the ‘hot 100’ lawyers for 2011 by legal magazine ‘The Lawyer’, and praised for my work in developing ‘pioneering legal products’.

These products include a 24/7 Legal Advice Helpline and Law Support, which enables companies to provide legal advice either as an employee benefit or as extension of the services it provides to customers.

I have also developed partnerships with brands such as the Telegraph Media Group which provides Telegraph readers with a ‘one stop’ shop for all their legal needs. Telegraph customers benefit from 24/ 7 assistance and all enquiries are dealt with by legally qualified professionals.

Publications

I have a particular interest in the changing legal services market place and have written a number of articles in respect of this.
