I lead Shoosmiths’ Privacy & Data team, advising on compliance, risk and innovation across all sectors and in relation to emerging technologies. My work spans adtech, AI, blockchain and digital transformation, with a focus on pragmatic, commercially astute advice. I’ve led the development of our managed service for DSARs, SmartSAR, and our outsourced DPO services.

I joined Shoosmiths having helped give Harry Potter a digital home and have since supported clients with digital and data-driven projects. My work has been referenced by the UK ICO and shortlisted for Best Innovative Privacy Project at the PICCASO Privacy Awards. I have advised on privacy governance, cyber security and regulatory engagement across sectors including automotive, retail and market research.

I am recommended in Chambers UK and Legal 500, and was a member of the IAPP Research Advisory Board. I founded the.JPA.club, a networking community for rising stars working in privacy and data, and curate Shoosmiths’ Data Insights conference. I also sit on the Editorial Board of the Journal on AI Compliance & Risk.  I hold degrees from York, Durham, Edinburgh, and the (now) University of Law and was awarded the T.B. Smith Prize for Distinguished Scholarship.
