About me
Senior business journalist/editor and City-trained solicitor: With that over 20 years’ experience, I specialise in legal, sustainability, property, tech, housing, DEI and insurance. I am a qualified solicitor and have worked in leading City and West End firms as a property lawyer. The combination of legal and journalism expertise mean I can provide my clients with a unique perspective. There’s very little I don’t know about the sectors I work in, so if you want an expert to chair your panels, someone to research and write your thought leadership reports or white papers, or simply advise you on your content strategy you’ve come to the right place. I work with businesses of all sizes on content campaigns, and all other aspects of their communications strategy. As a journalist I have worked at Euromoney, Housing Today and Building, Inside Housing, Social Housing, Legal Business, The Iberian Lawyer, The In-House Lawyer, Legal Week, CDR-News, The Law Society Gazette, Global Insight, Property News, and Property in Practice and many others. My experience: As special projects editor at Ocean Media I was in charge of all sponsored content at Inside Housing and Social Housing, working with commercial clients in the housing sector. As the founding editor of the award-winning Property Law Journal (www.legaljournals.co.uk) I worked on all aspects of content for the Journal. As a former real estate columnist for Legal Business magazine I wrote and commented on the latest developments in the legal sector. As the real estate editor for the UK Legal 500 for over five years, I was charged with all rankings in the sector, and have an in-depth knowledge of the legal directories process. As editor at 3Fox (www.3foxinternational.com) I planned and commissioned regeneration titles, in partnership with local authorities around the country, aimed at investors. Some of the magazines I edited include: Medway1 and BASE. As a communications consultant, I was in sole charge of a leading regional law firm's external profile and was responsible for its external communications initiatives as well as internal communications relating to a merger and new managing partner appointment.
