As a lawyer you’re often given a privileged window into clients’ businesses. There’s nothing more rewarding than understanding a client’s business and then helping that business grow, by means of successful transactions or avoiding legal risk by putting in place appropriate policies and procedures. 

My experience as a commercial technology lawyer spans national, West End and Magic Circle firms and encompasses a broad range of commercial matters (including distribution, manufacturing, outsourcing, licensing and management arrangements) together with technology contracts and data protection compliance. Prior to founding Tacit Legal, I was head of Commercial at a leading national law firm.

My clients range from successful SMEs through to the in-house teams of FTSE-listed corporates. Recent matters I’ve advised on include:

• the commercial contracts underpinning two new “Institutes of Technology”;
• the procurement of a new medical records and online appointment system for a large healthcare charity; and
• the commercial and policy documentation supporting the establishment of a global finance industry body.

As a firm, Tacit Legal isn’t “one size fits all.” Instead, we’re focused on the delivery of technology and media legal services to our clients. Every aspect of our business – from our lawyers through to our “back office” – aims to deliver those services as efficiently, smoothly and expertly as possible. 

As a team, we continuously review our ways of working so that we can best serve our clients, making changes and updating our processes and technology when we see opportunities to do so. In this way we believe that we enable our clients to achieve more.
