Looking after children can be a full time job. Looking after staff can be just as challenging, and not always as rewarding. For a start, there’s the recruitment process. Most of us don’t get to pick our children, but you can agonise for days over decisions to take on staff, how much to offer them, […]

The General Data Protection Regulation (aka Greater Data Protection Requirements)
What is the GDPR? The GDPR, or in its full name the General Data Protection Regulation, is law that will come into force on 25 May 2018. It will replace current data protection law, namely the current Data Protection Directive and the Data Protection Act 1998. Getting into the spirit of the GDPR Accountability and […]
Read MoreDon’t mess with the mouse
This is not some throwback to the 1950s, where I’m envisaging a woman standing on a chair, shrieking hysterically whilst waving a broom at a small mouse as it runs around the house, reminiscent of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. This phrase was used often in the first law firm I worked at, and the […]

If any of you met me for the first time at a networking event, you’re likely to remember me introducing myself as a gate crashed. Sometimes I go with professional drinker (no one could deny that’s true) and occasionally I go with pole dancer (I can’t really pull that one off but at least it […]
