Details

I have particular expertise in the defence and security sector, working with defence Primes, SMEs, multinational corporations and start-ups. I am the head of the Defence, Security and Forces team at Harrison Clark Rickerbys.

I was part of the team that founded the Herefordshire Security and Defence Group, of which I’m a board member, and I have run a resettlement programme for service leavers from the SAS, RAF and via webinars for the entirety of UK armed forces.

I also present at events in both the UK and abroad, covering the latest legal advances in the defence and security sector, and provide mentoring to numerous military leavers who want to start new businesses in the sector.

Practice Description

As an award-winning Top 70 UK law firm, we provide a full range of legal services to organisations, business leaders and individuals. We are entrepreneurial in our outlook, so that we can be flexible and responsive to the needs of our clients, delivering the best outcomes for them.

We have more than 800 lawyers and support staff, including more than 150 partners, and have been awarded the Law Society’s Lexcel quality mark in recognition of our compliance and client care standards.

Our highly experienced team advises clients who operate locally, nationally and internationally who supply a vast range of defence and security related goods and services. We also advise serving and former members of the military. The team includes members who have first-hand experience of the wide ranging needs of this complex industry and those serving in the forces, as well as their families, and is well placed to offer specialist advice, providing both practical and commercial solutions.

We understand that the needs of defence and security firms are different to other businesses. With a wide range of often complex compliance and regulatory issues to deal with, professional, relevant and appropriate advice is crucial. With a team that includes ex-forces specialists, and the security clearances required to operate across the entire defence industry, we speak your language.

Industry Sector Expertise

You will already know that we have a long-established relationship with the defence, security and forces sector, having strengthened our connection through the creation of the Three Counties Defence and Security Group. We work with a broad client base, supporting and advising them under the unique circumstances this sector is faced with. In fact, we’ve been recognised for our outstanding support and commitment to the defence community by winning the Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme gold award. We are members of West Midlands Regional Employer Engagement Group - such is the extent of our knowledge of and involvement with the defence sector.

Our work for the sector includes advice, expertise and understanding on a range of issues. As a full-service law firm, we provide all of the legal services you’d expect, and are highly ranked in legal directories such as Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners

Overseas Expertise

Our international service operates from five hubs across the world where our relationships with the people and institutions that might affect you are tried and tested. Our legal, commercial and government connections within the five hubs are extensive and deep – some of our team live overseas, and we work with other individuals that we’ve personally known for decades. Beyond the hubs, our trusted network reaches across 80 countries, enabling us to help you run and grow your business almost anywhere in the world.

HCR is also able to make use of 2,035 overseas lawyers in 30 different countries through our membership of Law Exchange International (LEI). LEI was founded in 1994 by one of HCR’s predecessor firms. The network is complementary to HCR’s five overseas hubs, and enables us to obtain reliable and cost-effective advice from lawyers we trust, from Belgium to Brazil and from Turkey to Texas.
