While I have experience in a wide range of commercial matters, my focus is on working with customers and suppliers of technology solutions and services. I have particular experience in setting up and running managed services.
My recent experience includes working with a FTSE 250 British multinational government contractor, a Fortune 500 German multinational investment bank and a S&P 400 global investment company, to simplify internal processes and to implement managed solutions for legal service requirements.
During COVID-19, I volunteered my time on the Document Assembly Line project run out of the Legal Innovation and Technology Lab at Suffolk University, Boston, to help in the development of mobile-friendly accessible versions of online court forms and pro se materials on the Docassemble platform.
I’ve put this experience into practice at Tacit Legal, helping to set up our managed legal services, which I think will be a game-changer for our clients and will transform how we provide legal solutions.
These managed services will empower our clients with streamlined processes and real-time access to critical information that allows them to proactively manage risk. I’m excited about the positive impact they’re going to have – on our clients, our team and on the wider legal landscape.
I joined Tacit Legal's four founders as their first hire. What drew me to the firm was its fresh, innovative approach to legal practice. I wanted to be involved in the process of building this type of firm from the ground up and I'm grateful to be a part of this journey.
