Values-driven general counsel and company secretary with experience advising executives and boards, establishing and growing teams, reducing spend, fixing problems and enabling delivery.
With past roles across the sport, technology, health, charity and government sectors, my aim is to support organisations to deliver through strategic, commercial and most importantly, straightforward advice.
With over 20 years experience in London and Melbourne, in-house and in global law firms, and with the last 12 years as General Counsel, I can provide pragmatic, solution focussed advice across a breadth of practice areas. My particular focus is on privacy, cyber, IT, intellectual property, sports law, child safety, commercial contracts, franchising, corporate governance and company secretarial.
For organisations that need more comprehensive in-house support, either on an interim, project-specific or ongoing basis, and which may not be able to sustain a full-time employed General Counsel, I offer part time services, with a range of cost models, including reduced rates for not-for-profit clients and pro bono opportunities.
I have particular experience with sporting clubs and regulators, providing outsourced member protection services, managing sensitive investigations and reviewing child safety compliance.
With a history of establishing first time legal functions, I can also review enterprise operations, identify where legal risk lies and advise on structure, compliance gaps and process improvement.
David consistently delivers pragmatic and strategic advice, without the need for a 20-page written note. With a great eye for detail, he gets up to speed quickly across a range of technical areas, and cuts through lengthy negotiations to get to the heart of the problem.
I have recruited and worked with David on two separate occasions and have also briefed him for external advice. He is a commercially focussed lawyer, sharp and responsive and provides clear advice. David also operates with the utmost integrity, underpinned by very strong knowledge and experience across many aspects of law. I highly recommend David for anyone seeking legal advice or support.
I've had the great pleasure of working with David in various roles, including at The AllStars Academy. He is a fantastic operator, always diligent, professional and a down-to-earth and approachable individual, which makes him very easy to build rapport with and work alongside. A great asset for any employer.
