Career overview

Originally qualified and worked as a solicitor in Manchester for two leading commercial firms.

Left legal practice to join Nottingham Trent, during which time I was instrumental in developing many of the commercial elements of what was then known as the “City LPC”. Left to join the College of Law (now University of Law), assuming roles related to LPC course design.

Returned to Nottingham Trent in order to assume a wider pedagogic role.
