My strengths lie in recognizing what clients want and need and ensuring that they obtain the best commercial result. Through insistence on proper administration, a relentless attention to continuous feedback and open communication, this is achieved. I treat the practice of law as a business, and I believe in providing the best service, and to lead by serving. I have obtained the necessary academic qualifications in company law and competition law, but I also have the sixth sense of taking my advice further than just academic advice.
