After qualification I spent time in-house/head of legal roles with various telecoms operators, generally focussing on infrastructure work, including acting as sole counsel to a trans-Atlantic submarine cable system. I have spent the last sixteen years working for a fantastic client base both on big subsea projects and supporting more general communications work.
Legal Specialties
I have particular expertise in subsea networks, advising on all aspects of submarine cable work (consortium/private/open cable arrangements), including C&MAs/JBAs, landing party/backhaul agreements, crossing agreements, branch builds and network sales.
I also negotiate/advise on new data centre arrangements and terrestrial network rollouts (capacity/dark fibre/colo).
