Professional background

I have a particular interest and experience in advising clients on new product roll out risk assessments, including entering new markets. I advise clients on legal issues around the re-using and monetisation of the personal data they handle.  

I have extensive experience in advising on international data transfers matters, personal data security breaches, data subject requests and regulatory investigations. 

I work for a varied range of clients and sectors with a focus on life sciences and digital health and medical devices and other sectors such as technology and travel. My clients vary from startups to well stablished household names.

I am a dual-qualified (England & Wales / Spain) lawyer and hold CIPP/E and CIPM certifications. I am recognised as a FIP by the IAPP. I write articles and regular blog posts on current matters. I co-author the BCR chapter for Lexis Nexis.
