Connecting people and ideas to create practical content which helps lawyers better advise their clients In 2005, I had the opportunity to establish Globe Law and Business, a new books division dedicated to creating accessible, practical legal content. Our goal has always been to provide experienced professionals with high-quality, easy-to-navigate information. In August 2015, I was part of a management buyout/buy-in to acquire the division and continue our mission to deliver high-quality, practical content. Our titles help lawyers better serve their clients by providing practical guidance from world-leading global professionals, as well as helping professionals advance their own careers through our extensive collection of titles in law firm management. My aim is to offer a professional yet personal service for our authors, ensuring that the publishing experience is enjoyable and that their work reaches a global audience. We welcome new ideas for titles in our key areas of law, and I’m always happy to have a publishing related chat! Outside of publishing: I’m also a British Wheel of Yoga accredited yoga teacher. I’ve edited 'The Yoga Teaching Handbook' and 'The Yoga Student Handbook', both published by Singing Dragon (now part of Hachette). I am also the Series Editor for the Yoga Teaching Guides by Singing Dragon.
Part of the acquisition team in the purchase of Globe Law and Business. We specialise in practical, topical titles for international legal and business professionals.
