He sums up his approach to work by stating: "As a solicitor, my task is to achieve a result my clients want, in a practical and pragmatic way. The result has to be more important than the process, and may involve “thinking out of the box”. I want my clients to understand what I have been doing for them, so any documentation should be well-presented and in language that is certain in meaning and easy to understand."
