“It was a combination because it’s a criminal framework and I started off in the criminal law, not on the corporate side, but more in terms of what other people would consider to be criminal law, assault and that sort of thing.

And I also have a civil practice and it neatly blends the two because there are many aspects of it which are civil, albeit they sit within a criminal framework. And not only that, the health and safety practice, it gives you a great insight into a huge variety of industries shipbuilding, oil rigs, farming, agriculture, you name it. They are all affected by health and safety.

Very few other jobs would give you that kind of opportunity to get close to stuff that you would never otherwise see.”
