In my spare time …
Whenever possible, my spare time is spent honing my skiing skills on the slopes and my walking skills on the flat!
What I said when I was asked …
How do you contribute to our Corporate Social Responsibility?
I maintain close links with the pro bono advice sector, locally through the CAB for whom we provide regular family law clinics. Further afield, I am involved in a legal advice charity in Brighton and Hove that was set up by my wife.
What changes to do you expect in the next 12 months?
The imminent access of supermarkets and other service providers to the legal market is certainly the main issue concerning the profession at present.
What do you do to get yourself thinking creatively?
I find that a strong cup of coffee generally gets my creative juices flowing. For difficult problems a walk with the dog in the countryside is sometimes required!
