I have spent 18 years in the business of law and, between 1996 and 2007, I worked as an in-house lawyer in a variety of different industries. My experience of the in-house sector taught me that in-house lawyers are extremely proficient at applying their legal expertise practically in the realities of the commercial world and that they can play a valuable role in any organisation. In-house lawyers also have an innate sense for what a piece of work is worth, which is often very different from “what is on the clock” at the law firm.

Of course, not every company can afford its own in-house lawyer and indeed may not need one on a full time basis, but with law firm charge out rates running at several hundred pounds an hour even for junior assistants the alternative of using an external law firm can be very expensive and the work product may not reflect the business realities in which your company operates.

With all of these obstacles in mind, I created Faraday’s Law, a firm committed to providing a unique combination of technical legal expertise and hands-on business experience at a price that reflects the true value of the work to the client: your own in-house lawyer at a fraction of the cost.

This website sets out in more detail what Faraday’s Law can do, but I would be delighted to tell you in person. Please don't hesitate to call me on +44 (0) 208 432 9473 or +44 (0) 7747 846960 for more information, or if you think I might be able to help you.
