My experience includes drafting, negotiating and advising on all types of IT agreements. These include system supply agreements, software licences, maintenance/support agreements, systems acquisition/integration agreements, IT and business process outsourcing agreements, and professional services agreements. I also advise on intellectual property issues and commercial contracts.

I am committed to understanding my clients’ commercial objectives – ensuring they feel they have achieved value for money – and establishing strong relationships with all key personnel.
