Litigation Case
A Proven Intersection of Law, Human Behaviour & Judgement.
My career has taken me from litigation and insurance claims to international education, leadership development and behavioural sciences. I have worked with underwriters across more than 25 countries, alongside brokers, claims professionals and senior leaders, helping people strengthen their communication, negotiation and decision-making.
At Rowley Ashworth Solicitors, I handled the claimant’s case in England v IBC Vehicles Ltd [2002] through to the Court of Appeal, working with barrister Richard Wilkinson. I later worked as a senior liability adjuster and served as the first Dean of the Faculty of Law at Cavendish University in Zambia.
My professional development includes executive education at Yale School of Management and Harvard Medical School. I am a co-founder of the Insurance Cyber and Political Risks Observatory and contributed “Insurance Against Terrorism” to the Edward Elgar Concise Encyclopaedia of Terrorism Law.
Today, my work explores how human behaviour, trust, critical thinking and professional judgement shape better outcomes.
