Ian began his career specialising in advocacy and advising on criminal, civil and family law. He then moved in-house working mainly for financial services and retail companies rising to be Chief Legal Officer/Company Secretary. This led him to develop an expertise in corporate governance and working with boards on effectiveness and performance.
Ian now works as a consultant. His practice encompasses:
- Board Effectiveness Review for organisations including FTSE 100s, major private companies, mutuals, private equity backed, public sector and not for profit ones.
- Coaching. He is an APECS (Association for Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision) Certified Professional Executive Coach coaching NEDs, senior executives and GCs. He is currently training as a team coach.
- Training and Development. He is the Course Director for Cranfield NED Programme and an Adjunct Ashridge Business School.
- Mediation: CEDR Accredited Mediator.
Ian is also the co-author of Your Role as General Counsel: How to Survive and Thrive published by Globe Law and Business and the forthcoming Professional Development for In-House Lawyers though he is working on a more exciting title for this to ensure it sells!

Cambridge2 is designed to challenge and provoke – in my experience it offers a unique insight into the leadership potential of senior in-house lawyers and identifies the opportunities to become “shapers” and change agents in our workplaces. This is not a programme for the faint-hearted or those simply looking to collect CPD points and take a spectator’s seat – this is a programme for those willing to change the way they think of themselves, their teams and those they advice. With an inspiring team of contributors and Programme participants guaranteed, I can not recommend it enough
