About

I am a solicitor specialising in insurance and reinsurance, with seven years in-house at specialty carriers and reinsurers. My work sits at the intersection of (re)insurance, technology and governance. I draft and negotiate specialty wordings across international placements, and I lead legal technology strategy for a 17-person team, treating legal operations as a design problem: how do you make the right process the easiest process? I co-authored my organisation's AI policy, built an NDA automation that achieved full adoption across the business, and won the Lloyd's Wordings Hackathon in 2021 for best simplification of wording language.

The thread connecting all of this is a focus on how legal functions should be designed for businesses scaling across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory regimes. Every wordings decision, every technology procurement, every process design carries governance implications. I am interested in whether those implications are visible before they become consequences, and in the institutional dynamics that determine whether they are.

Outside work, I am active in the Insurance Institute of London and the Worshipful Company of Insurers, of which I became a Liveryman in November 2025. I live in Hertfordshire with my wife and two children, commuting into London. I speak French at business meeting level.
