A MOST UN-LAWYERY LAWYER
Helping you prevent small workplace issues becoming big, hairy ones.
No-one actually enjoys long, messy, expensive legal disputes. They’re stressful, keep you awake at night… and they involve dealing with lawyers!
But my research (over 30 years of lawyering) has shown me that when we manage humans well and we have difficult conversations sooner rather than later:
- We tend to be less stressed
- We sleep well
- We spend less time with lawyers.
That’s where I come in. I want to help you need as little time with me as possible!
My job is to be an extension of your business, doing the “lawyery” stuff you require and strategically advising you to embrace dispute prevention so the little workplace issues remain just that.
