About

I head up the Data, Privacy and Cyber team presence in Belfast, advising on workplace privacy matters. This includes preventative assistance on organisational measures, as well as reactive support with data incident responses.

Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I operated as in-house legal counsel and data protection officer to global, data focused, businesses. I developed expertise in practical/strategic advice, enjoying delivery of complex business objectives in a compliant and agile manner.

I am qualified to practice in each Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, and England & Wales.

In my free time I am somewhat hyper active; playing football; coaching mini rugby and enjoying the great outdoors through hiking, mountain biking and surfing.
