Academic Profile

I qualified as a solicitor in 1994. Having initially practised in Manchester, I moved to a major national firm based in Leeds in 1998, specialising in advising large companies and also public sector clients. Having left private practice in 2009, I took up a lectureship at Huddersfield University, where I still teach on a part-time basis. I joined the Law School at Sheffield in September 2011.

Qualifications

• MA (Hons) University of Edinburgh

Teaching and Learning

I am particularly keen to encourage active participation in seminars and LPC class workshops, and to encourage LPC students to maintain a commercial rather than an academic mindset throughout the Course.

I am generally available (when not teaching) on Tuesdays, Wednesday mornings and Thursdays to see students who make a prior appointment by e-mail.

The modules I teach are:

Undergraduate	Legal Practice
Law of Contract	Business Law and Property
Property Law I
The Law of Restitution

Professional Activities and Recognition

• Member of the Law Society
