Career

I help individuals and businesses with a range of commercial, intellectual property and data protection issues. These include:

• drafting and reviewing business to consumer (B2C) and business to business (B2B) contracts – including terms and conditions of purchase/sale, supply agreements, manufacturing agreements, software as a service (SaaS) agreements, software development agreements, service level agreements and publishing agreements;
• terms and conditions and privacy policies for websites, software and mobile apps;
• data protection matters – including data subject access requests (DSARs), data breaches, compliance documentation, international data transfers and direct marketing;
• franchising and other licensing arrangements; and
• commercial agency agreements.

I also advise on corporate transactions involving share and business sales, acquisitions and reorganisations, as well as company constitutional matters. These include:

• the buying and selling of company shares and business assets;
• company constitutional matters – including shareholder agreements, investment agreements, articles of association and company incorporations; and
• partnership agreements and joint venture agreements.

I am also a member of Paris Smith’s Charities team. I advise charities of all sizes on a variety of matters including:

• governance matters, including amending Articles of Association, taking on new trustees, managing member participation and holding AGMs;
• data protection and direct marketing compliance; and
• commercial contracts including trading terms and conditions, outsourcing agreements and joint venture agreements.

I also manage Paris Smith’s registered office and company secretarial files.

The law can be complicated. I help clients protect themselves against legal risks and help them understand their contractual and compliance obligations. I give plain-English advice which focuses on the areas of concern for you or your business.
