Throughout my career, I have provided high-level analysis and advice on international trade law, trade remedies and regulatory policy. Building on 40 years of expertise ranging from Senior Economist at the UK DTI to Chief Economist and Head of EU Trade Practice at Mayer Brown, I deliver strategic evidence, WTO compliance analysis and market access guidance for governments, global corporations, and trade associations. My evolution into The Artist-Economist has shifted my focus away from pure commercial business. While I am highly selective about the projects I accept, I remain available for advisory work. That said I am prioritising initiatives that foster human wellbeing, environmental sustainability and a better world.
