Publications
In addition to drafting contracts, I regularly write papers and reports for academic journals, government agencies, and industry bodies. I’ve also written shorter pieces for news outlets, trade press, and other organisations. And sometimes, I’m asked to review the work of others — checking that their analysis holds up, the arguments are sound, and the writing is tight.
