About
I provide practical, confidential support to businesses and individuals navigating complex legal and formal situations. This work sits in the space before litigation, helping you get organised, prepared, and clear before you need to instruct a solicitor, or supporting you while you work alongside legal professionals.
Background
I bring clarity to complex and often overwhelming situations, especially when commercial pressure is high or when technical complexity obscures essential issues.
I work with people dealing with commercial disputes, broken obligations, and business breakdowns — situations where clear thinking, structured documentation, and measured communication can make the difference between escalation and resolution.
This is not legal advice. I don't replace solicitors or barristers, though I often work in concert with them. I help ensure you're organised, understood, and ready to use your legal support effectively when the time comes.
How I Work
Every engagement is handled with complete discretion. I use end-to-end encryption for file transfers, zero-knowledge storage systems, and can work entirely offline when required. Your material is never fed into AI systems or shared in any form without your explicit consent.
The work might involve drafting correspondence, reviewing agreements, preparing disclosure schedules, organising case material, or helping you respond to complex or time-sensitive situations with clarity and calm.
Business Relationships and Contracts
Much of my work involves helping people understand and improve their working relationships and contractual arrangements. This includes supporting business owners in clarifying roles that have evolved informally, reviewing contracts before they're signed, and helping align legal agreements with the practical realities of how businesses actually operate.
I work regularly with creative industry professionals, particularly in film and television, where payment disputes and unfair terms are unfortunately common. I also help commercial companies ensure their contracts reflect their actual business risks and operational needs, rather than just legal compliance.
The focus is always on bringing clarity and structure in a way that protects clients' interests while avoiding unnecessary conflict or escalation.
Who I Work With
My clients include owners and directors dealing with commercial disputes, professionals navigating contractual issues, and people who need sensitive material organised for their legal teams.
What unites them is a need for privacy, clarity, and practical support during challenging times, and an understanding that good preparation and clear thinking can save both time and money when formal legal action becomes necessary.
If you're dealing with something complex or sensitive and need strategy and understanding to review, prepare, or protect your position effectively, I'd be happy to discuss how I might help.
