About

As a commercial contracts lawyer, I grew into leading legal design and legal operations projects that improve how legal teams work and how contracts and other legal documents look, function and are used. I collaborate with teams across Lewis Silkin to help clients tackle inefficiencies, strengthen collaboration and create legal functions that are more strategic, scalable and approachable for business teams.

I work with clients in a creative and iterative way to understand the challenges with their contracts, processes and ways of working. From redesigning templates and policies to improving workflows or getting more out of legal tech, I create clear and practical solutions for both legal teams to reduce points of friction and pave the way for business growth.

I'm passionate about cutting through the complexities of dense legal jargon and inefficient processes to produce accessible, usable contracts and help in-house legal teams do more with less. My goal is to help legal teams become true business enablers by combining legal design, legal operations and technology in a way that delivers real impact.
