Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

I am a core member of Osborne Clarke's AI team and have been deeply involved in the development of our AI Deployment Roadmap. I regularly speak to clients about AI and have spoken at a national conference on how to harness the opportunities and manage the potential pitfalls of this technology.

I am also one of our specialists in Digital Regulation, and contribute to our projects on reforms to consumer law, the regulation of online platforms, and the compliance of hardware and software.

I am hugely enthusiastic about emerging and innovative technologies and particularly enjoy opportunities to advise the businesses developing and deploying products which change the world around us, how we interact with our environments, and shift business practices as they are adopted more widely.
