Simon is an in-house specialist, having spent his entire career supporting businesses from the inside, working as an integral part of the business team. He has a wealth of experience working with scaling tech, SaaS and AI companies and he’s brilliant at prioritising and taking care of the full range of legal issues they encounter – from getting deals done quickly and efficiently, to streamlining contracts, creating practical templates and playbooks, and building processes that work.

Simon adopts a pragmatic approach to getting deals done whilst minimising unnecessary risks, rather than sitting on the fence and providing an unhelpful list of potential reasons not to do them. Drawing from his extensive background in facilitating successful business exits, Simon collaborates closely with Finance, Sales, Ops, HR and Info-Sec to build a foundation that ensures the next financing event runs as smoothly as possible.

Simon also helps companies implement AI (including Legal AI) safely and effectively, as well as heading up LegalEdge’s AI steering committee.

Useful to know:

Simon enjoys walking and exploring and is trying to make sure he experiences as much of Yorkshire’s natural beauty as possible. He is also actively involved in some citizen science projects to measure the water quality of his local beck and lake.

Worked with:

Simon was Head of Legal at LandTech (UK and US B2B SaaS Proptech), SVP General Counsel at Condeco (global B2B SaaS workspace management), Head of Legal UK at GoDaddy, Head of Legal at HEG and In-House Counsel at Reed Recruitment.

For Companies

We’ll set up a cost-effective, efficient legal function for your business. You’ll have an experienced lawyer as your single point of contact who works as part of your operations team.

No duplication and no reinventing the wheel each time. We get to know your business quickly to manage your legal matters effectively and add value. And as your flexible in-house legal function, we can be scaled up or down depending on needs.

We analyse risk and prioritise what’s important, then manage and carry out the day-to-day legal work, all to a set budget. We’ve all worked as in-house lawyers in fast growth companies, so know what you need (and don’t need) to worry about. We’ll work with you to get deals and contracts done and help achieve your business goals.

“The fact that all their lawyers have worked inside businesses means they are commercial, pragmatic and know exactly how to prioritise what’s important.”

We work with small in-house legal teams that need additional support on a flexible basis without adding to headcount.

Whether it’s overflow work, a project or just a much-needed extra pair of hands we can help. We get the job done without supervision, working seamlessly as part of your team or behind the scenes, whatever works best for you. We don’t do endless negotiations on the clock or write long legal memos. We just help prioritise, find solutions and get it done.We understand the challenges and demands of small in-house teams because we’ve been there. We work as an extension to your team, get up to speed on business priorities quickly, and help you keep control of legal workflow and budget.
