Bio

Sam brings a practical, solutions-focused approach to helping clients navigate technology, data, and commercial challenges. Known for his ability to quickly understand complex technology environments and deliver clear, commercially practical advice, he works with a broad range of clients, from early-stage start-ups to global corporates, across sectors including financial services, insurance, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

He has particular expertise in software licensing and implementation, IT procurement, regulatory compliance, data protection, and IP commercialisation. Sam often operates as an extension of in-house legal and procurement teams, helping clients manage legal and commercial risk and support effective, commercially aligned contracting on both the customer and supplier side.
