Who I am
Very proud to be the Founder of Gannons which was a start up once upon a time. I am constantly fascinated by the drive of those prepared to take a risk in business. There is so much to navigate. If I can steer a client around a bad situation using my years of experience that feels good.
My main focus is to develop the practice and improve the level and quality of services we deliver. I set the three basic requirements for the firm :
- Be honest;
- Quote realistically;
- Communicate.
Sounds easy but never straightforward.
Why I set up Gannons
In 2000, I was a tax solicitor at a large US law firm. I looked out from their ivory tower and spotted a gap in the market - the lack of high quality legal advice for entrepreneurs and SMEs. Many larger law firms claim to service SMEs but in reality smaller businesses are pushed to the bottom of the pile. The opportunity crystallised – the delivery of top quality legal advice SMEs need within a sensible price bracket
