Data Protection Officer / Solicitor
I started my career as a commercial litigator, specialising in reputation management, intellectual property and privacy disputes. As a litigator, I acted for a wide range of organisations in high profile claims up to the Supreme Court. I also represented clients before national regulators, including the ICO, which prompted my conversion to become a full time data protection and compliance lawyer.
In the build up to the GDPR’s arrival, I led the Information Law team at a UK-Top 100 commercial law firm, overseeing GDPR compliance projects for many clients including global brands and international charities. I was also the keynote speaker at a series of GDPR events across the UK and an expert speaker for Lexis Nexis’ webinars series.
In 2018, I became a partner in a law firm, providing outsourced DPO services to businesses, before moving in-house to become the Data Protection Officer for the RAC Group.
