Services

Commercial Contracts | Privacy & DSARs | eDiscovery & eDisclosure | Fractional GCCommercial ContractsFlexible contract support when you need it, without a long-term commitment. Use this for review and mark-up, negotiation support, drafting, summarisation, or extracting key obligations from existing agreements. I can also help streamline your contract workflow, from intake and playbooks through approvals and signature, so deals move faster and the business uses consistent positions.Privacy & DSARsWhen a data subject access request (DSAR) lands, I can take control of the response process so it stays calm, compliant, and defensible. That includes triage and scoping, advising on exemptions, coordinating searches with your IT/provider, overseeing review and redaction, and drafting the response pack and correspondence.I also help you put a defensible DSAR approach in place before you need it by designing a practical workflow, clarifying roles and owners, and setting a consistent methodology for decision-making and documentation so responses are repeatable and you can evidence what you did and why.

eDiscovery & eDisclosureFor disputes, investigations, and complex data matters, I provide hands-on eDiscovery and eDisclosure support. I am platform-agnostic with experience across Relativity, Everlaw, Reveal, Merlin, Cicero, and Harvey, and work across whatever your matter requires.Fractional General CounselCommercial, day-to-day GC support for founder-led teams, scoped so you get what you need without paying for a full legal department. I handle contract flow, risk triage, and practical advice to keep deals moving and decisions unblocked, with clear turnaround and deliverables. If something falls outside scope (for example complex corporate, regulated advice, or litigation management), I will flag it early and help you decide the most cost-effective next step.
