Carole’s areas of expertise cover all aspects of the provision of commercial software and IT services. She works extensively with supply-side SME’s who license software products, provide IT solutions and consultancy services and undertake large-scale development projects. Carole’s wealth of experience with strategic commercial issues equips her to provide focused, relevant legal advice that aids her clients to achieve their business goals.

Carole trained and qualified at city law firm Linklaters before broadening her horizons by moving in-house to focus on the IT industry. She provides legal services on the premise that a robust contractual framework can maximise revenue and minimise risks and should be a business asset rather than a bar to achieving sales targets. Her experience as an in-house lawyer has equipped her with a keen understanding of the relationship between sales and delivery and the consequences to revenue if that relationship is not optimised.

Carole decided in early 2002 to combine her legal expertise with her unparalleled commercial experience to found a new type of law firm. She believes that by bringing together an in-depth understanding of the commercial imperatives behind a business and the best legal expertise available, she and her colleagues can provide informed, value-added and unrivalled commercial legal services.
