Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

I have been fortunate to work with many different companies across different industries.  My passion for making regulation easily understandable and easy to implement, comes from witnessing company systems that have failed when put under scrutiny.  Businesses have to cope and adapt everyday to new and changed regulation, but getting the culture right and being a good corporate citizen are just as important to mitigate compliance risks to your business.

In my areas of expertise, change is constant.  Applying current legal concepts to amazing new technologies, or advising clients on how to adapt to meet environmental objectives in products or packaging is now a key part of how I advise and work with clients.  But things still go wrong, and managing regulatory investigations and enforcement remains a key part of my practice.
