Describe yourself in five words.

Charming… efficient… methodical… uncompromising… sensitive.

 

What do you enjoy most about your work?

Helping to create financial order in the life of a client who is suffering from unimaginable grief and distress as the result of a bereavement.

 

If you were not a lawyer how would you earn a living?

No idea – which is why I persevered so long in trying (and, eventually succeeding) to pass the law exams!

 

What is your highest career achievement?

To hold back the words that are on the tip of my tongue when faced with severe provocation from intrusive regulators  and other institutions that have been given roles solely to control every aspect of an individual’s life.

 

And your perfect day is…?

Skiing in deep powder snow, high in the mountains, on a cloudless, sunny day with my family and friends.

 

What’s the single most important thing you want to do before you die?

Now that really would be telling!
