I build the complete technology stack a law firm runs on — intake, case management, document automation, e-signature, billing, reporting and AI — and I've done it 60+ times across the US, UK, Australia, UAE and India. Platforms I implement and integrate Case & matter management — Filevine, Litify, Clio Manage, Smokeball, Salesforce, Zoho CRM Intake & marketing — Lawmatics, GoHighLevel, Clio Grow, Filevine Lead Docket, CallRail, JustCall Document automation — Filevine Outlaw, Net Doc, Smokeball templates, Clio Draft, Documate/Gavel E-signature — Vinesign, DocuSign, Dropbox Sign Billing & accounting — LawPay, QuickBooks Online, Xero, trust/IOLTA and SRA client account setup Integration & AI — native APIs, Zapier, Make, custom middleware, Claude/OpenAI API agents built into the case system Most firms don't have a software problem. They have an architecture problem: five tools that don't talk to each other, a case management system configured by whoever was free that week, and staff doing by hand what the stack was bought to do automatically. I fix that in one of two ways. New firm, nothing built yet. Don't know where to start and what tech stack needed? I design and deliver the whole smart office from scratch — I help you select the platforms, build the case/matter architecture, wire the integrations, automate the intake-to-settlement pipeline, migrate any legacy data, write the SOPs and train the team. You go from empty to fully operational, usually in 6–8 weeks. Existing firm, stack underperforming. I audit what you have, quantify where the leakage is (unworked leads, manual re-keying, unbilled time, stalled files), and rebuild the weak layers without ripping out what works. Often the platform is fine — the configuration isn't. Selected results PI firm, full Filevine build — documented 3,753% return on the engagement Lawmatics overhaul — cleared a 4,400+ task backlog and rebuilt the intake pipeline end to end Multi-practice firm — 262 dead leads recovered and converted after an intake rebuild Estate planning + PI build — 36 project sections and 592 custom fields architected in a single system of record Nine-month GoHighLevel + Clio programme — 51 workflows live, 339 contacts migrated clean How I work Every engagement starts with a structured discovery: your practice areas, matter lifecycle, current tools, team roles, volumes and known pain points. You get a written stack recommendation with reasoning and cost before anyone touches a system. Then I build in phases you can see, with documentation and training handed over at the end so your firm isn't dependent on me. I also run a legal support team, so where a build exposes a capacity gap rather than a technology gap, I can tell you that honestly instead of selling you more software. Good fit if you are: A new firm setting up properly the first time An established firm whose case management system is being used at 30% of its capability A firm migrating between platforms A firm that wants AI genuinely embedded in the case file, not a chatbot bolted to the website. Every law firm, regardless of size or jurisdiction, needs these layer. Message me with your practice area, team size and current tools and I'll tell you what I'd build & why 1. Lead capture - CallRail, Google LSA, web forms, WhatsApp Business, Smith.ai / Ruby, live chat 2. Intake & CRM - Lawmatics, GoHighLevel, Clio Grow, Filevine Lead Docket, Salesforce, Zoho 3.

Clinical Research | Biotechnology | Clinical Biochemistry | Life Sciences I help healthcare organisations, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical teams, life science startups, researchers, clinicians, investors, and innovation teams solve complex scientific, technical, and strategic challenges through rigorous research, critical analysis, and evidence-based decision-making. My experience combines advanced scientific training across three degrees in Biochemistry, including postgraduate specialisation in Clinical Biochemistry, with professional clinical laboratory practice, independent clinical research, and scientific consulting. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap between science, healthcare, biotechnology, diagnostics, and emerging technologies, delivering evidence-based insight that supports confident strategic decision-making. I specialise in translating complex scientific information into clear, actionable insights. Alongside my professional laboratory work, I independently conceived, designed, and developed a complete clinical research study, authoring the study methodology, clinical study protocol, participant documentation, consent forms, screening documentation, and supporting research materials. This strengthened my expertise in study design, evidence synthesis, scientific writing, critical appraisal, and developing scientifically robust solutions to complex research challenges. Whether evaluating emerging technologies, conducting scientific due diligence, analysing healthcare markets, supporting clinical research, producing technical reports, or synthesising complex scientific evidence, my approach remains the same: Scientific rigour. Strategic thinking. Evidence before opinion. Areas of Expertise • Scientific & Healthcare Consulting • Clinical Biochemistry & Laboratory Medicine • Clinical Research & Study Design • Biotechnology & Life Sciences • Scientific Due Diligence • Literature Reviews & Evidence Synthesis • Scientific & Medical Writing • Healthcare Technology, Diagnostics & AI in Life Sciences • Scientific Market & Competitive Intelligence • Executive Scientific Briefings & Technical Reports I work with organisations that value analytical thinking, scientific integrity, and clear communication. My objective is not simply to deliver information, but to provide well-reasoned, evidence-based insights that support better scientific, technical, and strategic decisions.

I help businesses turn complex sustainability requirements into practical plans, strategies and deliverables they can actually use. My work includes sustainability strategy, EPR and packaging compliance, B Corp, carbon footprints, Scope 3, Net Zero and ESG assessments. Whether you need to understand a new requirement, assess where your business currently stands or build a practical roadmap, I can help you work out what matters and what to do next. I'm an award-winning sustainability consultant with more than 20 years' experience working with global brands, SMEs and start-ups across the UK, Europe, US and Australasia. My wider experience includes materiality, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, circular economy, sustainability reporting and sustainability communications. Before founding GB Sustainability, I held senior corporate responsibility roles with ALDI in the UK and Australia and worked in responsible retail and sustainability consultancy. This means I understand both the technical side of sustainability and the practical realities of implementing it inside a business. Clients typically bring me in when they need to: • understand a complex sustainability requirement or problem; • assess where their business currently stands; • develop a practical sustainability, carbon or Net Zero strategy; • turn data and analysis into a clear roadmap or deliverable; or • get an experienced independent perspective on sustainability work. I work independently, communicate clearly and focus on producing practical work that helps clients make better decisions and move forward. If you have a sustainability challenge and aren't yet sure what the right approach looks like, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to achieve.
