A friend of mine recently pointed out a certain resemblance between myself and Meghan Trainor, the singer of the pop hit, ‘All about that bass’, and suggested we record a legal version of the song, ‘All about that case’. Now you may be wondering if this would infringe copyright in the song, however you may […]

No rest for the wicked – and they really don’t get much more wicked than me!
I’m very aware that I’m not always the most popular person in the world, to the point where if I meet someone new at a networking event, I often won’t admit what I do for a living. I have made a little old lady bankrupt. I have evicted families from their homes. I’ve liquidated companies. […]
Read MoreIs the customer always right?
If you have ever been into our fab new offices (not actually that new, we’ve been in nearly three years!!!) you’ll have seen our rather cheeky mugs, which bear the slogan “Don’t confuse your Google search with my law degree” It started as a bit of a joke when I saw the mugs online a […]
Read MoreHitting disasters head on!
I’ve discovered that as I get older, I learn more about myself and how my views have changed (or perhaps improved). I’ve always known that I’m a reasonably positive person. The glass has always been half full and not half empty. But now, I can see that not only do I still have half a […]

Read MoreLove may be blind, but solicitors aren’t, so be careful what you put in your card this valentines day!
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but Valentine’s Day is supposed to be the most romantic. If the shops are anything to go by, you should spend the day being inundated with flowers, cards and gifts, and spend the evening being wined and dined. Obviously I’m not going to discuss what […]
Read MoreDo As I Say, Not As I Do!
Setting a good example is as essential in business as it is in parenting or teaching. If you have bad business practices, such as an absence of good Ts and Cs, or good credit control, how can you expect your clients to take you seriously when you advise them to have Ts and Cs, and […]
Read MoreThis article may surprise you!
After over 30 years in law and over 50 years on the planet (nearly 20 of them spent as a parent!) it’s really hard to surprise me. Whatever mess you’ve got yourself in to, mistake you’ve made or error of judgement you’ve suffered from, not only have I probably dealt with a similar problem, I’ve […]
Read MoreTo CV or Not to CV, That is the Question.
Or at least that’s how it feels. I like to think that I’m reasonably realistic, and I know that people tend to exaggerate their skills and abilities in their CVs and in interviews. A passing interest in sport can become a passionate love of football. Putting a few coins in a collecting box can become […]
Read MoreToday I Am Completely Armless
Or at least that’s how it feels. I feel like there is an important piece of me missing – that’s because there is an important piece of me missing! I am completely without my phone today and I am completely beside myself. Don’t worry, I didn’t throw it at anyone or anything following a […]
