Clients often tell me that I’m unlike any other lawyer they have worked with! I think that’s a compliment… I believe that it reflects the fact that I’m a committed advocate for employee ownership and I want the businesses I work with to thrive in their new status. That goes far beyond producing documents for signature: it’s about building a sound EOT, embedding good governance and supporting the people who will make it succeed.

My background spans company, corporate, commercial and trust law, together with hands-on experience as an external trustee and adviser to established EOTs. That perspective helps me spot challenges early, explain options clearly and keep the process calm, compliant and effective.
EOT Expert exists to give business owners lasting reassurance that your EOT structure works in practice, not just on paper.

I work with clients across the UK, but home is a cottage in a field in West Cornwall, near the coast, with my wife Tess, her award-winning dancing ponies, a guitar and a slightly neglected surfboard.
