CLEAR THINKING
FOR COMPLEX QUESTIONS.

My work has always centred on difficult questions, competing interests and the need to make sound decisions.

My experience spans law enforcement and investigation, trade unions, local government, school governance and leadership, as well as legal education. These roles have shaped how I work: listening carefully, understanding what matters and explaining the options clearly.

I bring legal knowledge, commercial awareness and practical experience of making decisions, representing others and working through difficult situations.

Clear advice.
Sound judgment.

I work with public bodies, organisations and individuals where law, governance and practical decision-making meet.

Statutory maternity pay

When protection exists in law, but falls short in life.

My current research asks whether the UK’s statutory maternity-pay framework delivers substantive equality or leaves legal protection formally present but practically inadequate.
