The Addleshaw Goddard corporate head on confused American clients, being modest and failing to become an astronaut
Why did you become a lawyer?
Unfortunately, despite my undoubted talents in other areas I failed to become a professional footballer or get into the NASA astronaut programme. Law was the default option.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career?
Tim Wheldon and Ian McIntosh: great commercially minded transactional lawyers with the human touch – one a current and one a former Addleshaws partner. They helped shape what I have become, albeit latterly three children, including twin girls, has been character building.
What’s your proudest professional moment?
Hopefully still to come when I finally call it a day, look back and think that wasn’t a bad innings.
