About me
I began working independently over 10 years ago and have spent the last three years honing my business into one that works for me. As you know, self-employment is not the easy choice but, done in a way that best suits you, is incredibly rewarding and motivating.
I qualified as a solicitor in 2007 and have worked with businesses throughout that time. This has been as employed in-house counsel, and as an external consultant on an interim or fractional basis. Prior to my legal career, I worked in retail and business banking for Lloyds Bank.
My ideal client is a fast growth challenger / new in the market brand with a story behind the business. A good example is Bold Bean Co. They may be working with external law firms but finding this frustrating because the advice is not commercial enough. I can offer my extensive experience along with getting to know the business, to work in partnership with them, helping those commercial decisions. If you know anyone who would benefit from this, please do let me know.
Personal development is something that I embrace with enthusiasm and have experienced its positive impact in my life and business and with clients. This has included authentic leadership skills; overcoming a fear and scarcity mindset; developing resilience and avoiding burnout.
For fun, I am a fitness fanatic. I play and watch tennis as often as I can; love lifting weights at the gym and to wind down, can be found doing lengths in the pool or sitting in the sauna. I love reading thrillers and watching a gripping series on TV.
