I qualified as a UK Solicitor in 1976, and then spent 8 years as a police prosecutor in the South of England, before leaving to develop my own law practice in London in 1982. In 1997, I re-qualified in Finance and Insurance with the Chartered Institute of Insurance. I spent the next 8 years working in Finance and Insurance in the City of London.
In 2005, I became aware of the opportunities for training and communication offered by new technology and qualified as a teacher to teach law and legal soft skills. Since 2005, I have been the head of an internet distance-learning company for lawyers, the British Legal Centre.
My company supports and trains lawyers, judiciary, financial, and engineering professionals globally. I have been running live on-line course and traditional live training events for lawyers since the company’s inception. We develop and provide courses relating to both legal and financial topics and teach these both through live and online lessons and training events.
I have taught both law and professional legal skills, to lawyers in many law and audit companies around the world, including many ‘Magic Circle’ law companies and all of the Big 4 Audit companies. I have also conducted live training courses on a wide variety of legal topics at legal departments in many multinational corporations, including Shell Oil, Master Foods, Air Liquide, and in-person training at SAUDI ARAMCO (Saudi Arabia), DAMAC (Dubai), ENKA (Turkey), EMBRACO/Whirlpool (Brazil), and MOWASALAT (Qatar). I have also provided live training for the Judiciary of several Middle Eastern Countries.
I speak English, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian. My interests are rugby, walking, classical music, and Rule of Law issues.
