About

As a commercial contracts and data protection lawyer, I grew into leading legal design and transformation projects that improve how contracts and other legal documents look, work and are used. I collaborate with all teams at Lewis Silkin to deliver these projects for clients across different sectors.

I work with clients in a creative and iterative way to understand the challenges with their contracts and policies in order to create clear, functional and user-friendly legal documents that reflect their company's brand. I also design the process around how they're used so it's a snap to create, negotiate and finalise them.

I'm passionate about cutting through the complexities of dense legal jargon to produce accessible and usable contracts, and about propelling in-house legal teams to become business enablers.
