After qualifying as a Solicitor in 1975, I have spent my legal career as a company/commercial lawyer initially in London working for a large group of food companies and then in a niche firm concentrating on major commercial clients.
I moved to Exeter in 1990 and joined one of the largest practices there becoming a partner in 1993 until I left in 2013. I then started to undertake company/commercial assignments as well as acquisitions and disposals and for a short time worked for a fund management company which I had assisted in setting up in business. In February 2020 I joined Thomson & Bancks to carry on the same company/commercial work.
I hold a master’s degree in European legal studies and have been involved in assisting rewriting four volumes of company law precedents for a national publishing house.
To me my clients come first and are all important. No problem is too small, and I am here to help.
It is to me a great pleasure and enjoyable privilege to be working with Thomson & Bancks and its clients.
My personal interest revolves very much around cricket, in particular as a member of a number of MCC committees over the years including being part of a three-person team redrafting the MCC club rules and making the Club’s application for its royal charter. Subsequently I have worked on a major restructuring of Club and am the Club’s adviser on its Rules. I also chair Devon County Cricket Club whose exploits on the field of play I much appreciate watching.
