Academic Profile

I joined the university in 1996 following completion of my Legal Practice Course. I taught law within the Management School where I also undertook research into issues on accountability through the audit practices within the public sector. I moved to the School of Law in 2003 to take up a teaching post.

Based in the School of Law I am now subject convenor for a law module for Management students. This covers the core areas of law associated with key business organisations including sources of UK and EU Law, Contract, Torts and Company Law. I am also part of the Public Law teaching team.

I am a third year tutor and have a number of associated pastoral responsibilities. I am the Disabilities Liaison Officer for the School.

Teaching and Learning

I have a passion for teaching and believe that a university education is as much about preparation for the workplace as about academic study. I try to make learning both challenging and rewarding, utilising the skills I acquired from the legal practice course within my teaching methods and by using practical examples wherever possible. I am keen to build confidence within an academic environment and do this through a combination of student presentations, group work and student lead research activities combining traditional methodologies with current legal issues.

The modules I teach are:

Law for Management (Convenor)
