“What really motivates me is the gratification of guiding clients through these often high-pressure and challenging scenarios”

“The dynamic nature of insurance and cybersecurity ensures that each client and incident is unique, and constantly presents new situations to tackle. What really motivates me is the gratification of guiding clients through these often high-pressure and challenging scenarios - and aiding in their swift recovery.

Cybersecurity and data incidents often extend across multiple jurisdictions. The role of coordinating breach response is well-known to us, and we have a dependable network which we can rely on to deliver this. We frequently coordinate with international counsel to guarantee that our clients promptly receive the best local advice. 

I am calm, reassuring, thorough, and highly responsive when dealing with matters.  I appreciate the commercial realities, and advise on the best way to address these. 

I’m also a great believer in using regular, clear and non-legalistic language to ensure everyone understands the position, the next steps, and what to expect. My clients can rest assured that all the issues are always being dealt with appropriately.”
