Her clients range from industrial SMEs and businesses in the finance sector, to UK subsidiaries of distribution companies and suppliers in the film and television industry. Harriet enjoys working with clients to achieve their commercial objectives and goes the extra mile to understand the pressure points for businesses and provide valuable strategic advice in the context of the legal issue.
