I am an experienced in-house solicitor with over 11 years of legal experience both in-house and in various law firms. My in-house experience has been focused in the financial services sector within multinational businesses where I have advised on a wide range of commercial contracts and provided specialist advice on insurance related matters and regulation. I am passionate about adding value to a business by providing commercial and business focused advice and training, driving efficiencies and implementing change improvement initiatives. I demonstrate a solutions-based approach and find a way of getting things done!

I am a data protection and privacy specialist with many years' experience in-house, having worked for multinationals and household names. I provide Data Protection Officer services and advice on all aspects of privacy compliance. I like to think that I take the pain out of privacy compliance for my clients, making it at least bearable if not actively interesting.

Norma Tang

I'm a general commercial lawyer and have worked for over 22 years in both private practice and for several years as head of legal in house, combining both experiences to provide commercially driven, pragmatic and technical solutions. I've worked with in house and external clients on a wide range of commercial contracts and IP licensing, with particular experience in the tech, retail and transport sectors. But the joy of working in house is the variety of projects and contracts that come through the door. It is very rewarding to work with in house legal and business teams, using our combined experiences to help deliver both critical and day to day "business as usual" work. It's all about getting the job done in the most positive, practical, commercial way possible.
