Fractional Legal Counsel
Legal Consultant
External DPO
Growing life sciences companies face unique legal challenges - from navigating regulatory frameworks to scaling operations and managing commercial risk.
I provide legal and privacy support when you need it without the cost of a full-time employee or a large law firm.
My legal career spans nearly 20 years and has been built within the life sciences sector, where I have served in first and sole In-House Legal Counsel, Head of Legal and General Counsel roles.
As an independent Solicitor since 2022, I provide clients with flexible and scalable legal support through on-demand consultancy, fractional legal support and data privacy services, including external DPO, allowing organisations to access experienced legal counsel when and as they need it. I understand the pressures of tight budgets, accelerated timelines and the need for legal guidance and solutions that enable growth rather than impede it.
I have transactional, hands-on experience across all phases of the product lifecycle: pre-clinical research, clinical development, regulatory, licensing, manufacturing, distribution, pharmacovigilance and post-marketing compliance.
Having built legal functions from the ground up across multiple organisations, I understand the operational realities. My expertise also includes establishing legal frameworks, internal processes and infrastructures that support growth and operational demands while effectively managing commercial risk.
I am authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and maintain full professional indemnity insurance, including IR35 coverage, ensuring peace of mind for my clients.
