I work with many start-ups supporting them all through their lifecycle from seed funding to exit. I also advise large corporates on general commercial matters.
My expertise spans a broad range of areas from corporate investment deals to commercial contract negotiation of media and technology agreements. I also advise on data protection and intellectual property issues. I have worked in the media and technology sector for my entire career as both a lawyer and an entrepreneur, so I have first-hand experience of the perspective of the founders that I advise as they scale-up their businesses and I enjoy being a trusted partner on the journey with them.
That I focus on identifying the most important issues and provide pragmatic advice as a trusted advisor. That I take the time to understand their business and the context to give the most relevant, valuable advice.
Before Arbor
I began my career in 1999 at city law firms Olswang and Baker McKenzie. After completing an MBA in 2007, I worked with media and technology companies including EMI, Time Warner and National Geographic in a mix of business development, strategy and legal roles. I also co-founded my own tech start-up, which gave me hands-on experience of the realities of raising equity investment and building a business.
