Senior Solicitor — Commercial Litigation & International Arbitration | ex-Withers LLP | Building an AI-native legal venture

London, England, United Kingdom

About

After more than a decade in commercial litigation and international arbitration - most recently as a senior associate at Withers LLP - I am now building a new venture in legal services. The venture is being built from first principles for a legal market being reshaped by AI - a shift that will redefine what clients expect, how matters are delivered, and ultimately what a law firm is for. The ambition is to build the model that meets that moment, not to retrofit an inherited one into it. I am currently in conversations with investors, advisers, and potential collaborators. If any of that resonates, I would be glad to hear from you.
