about me.

  • After years of feeling misaligned with my core values and how lawyers were ‘supposed to’ provide legal services, I wanted to do things differently.

    Enter in house nous: where we’re less lawyer, more human.

    I am now in a position to share my expertise in a way that feels truly ‘right’ for you and for me.

    My empathetic approach is my superpower.

    I offer legal expertise that is both compassionate and practical.

    Sounds simple, right? Sadly, it’s rarer than you might think in the legal industry.

  • Having worked in law firms, in-house with clients, and in government settings, I get what it’s like to juggle multiple competing demands in fast-paced regulated environments. It’s kind of like juggling my twins!

    I help busy business owners, HR managers, and executives craft both direction-setting and compassionate HR strategies. I also cut through (and save you from) complexity and legalese.

    After some time with me, you will understand your options and walk away feeling both heard and empowered.

    You can think of me as your legal and HR ‘doula’. ✨

    • 1:1 advice on a HR query (e.g. think award interpretation, casual conversion, leave entitlements)

    • Reviewing and uplifting your employment contract templates

    • Auditing your workplace policies for red flags / best practice

    • Navigating the complexities of employees with long-term illness or injury (physical and psychological)

    • Coaching you through performance management processes

    • Representing you when you receive a claim (like an Unfair dismissal, General Protections claim or Anti-Bullying Application)

    • Guiding you through the redundancy process (without falling foul of the law)

    • Supporting you with a strategic employee exit

    • Training your leaders on best practice tips for driving performance (while ticking all the legal compliance boxes)

  • In my downtime, you’ll find me either chasing my twins around the house (probably while sipping a cappuccino - which has likely gone cold), or dissecting hip hop lyrics with my husband.

    I enjoy hiking (fun fact: Paige and I completed the Everest Base Camp trek together in 2018) and zooming around the futsal court.

    I am also a pro photographer and run a photography business with my sister every other weekend.

If you’re looking for a regular sounding board for advice based on what you value, let’s chat.
