Trusted Advisor to Business Leaders and In-House Teams

JHB & Partners

Helping business and legal leaders solve resourcing, delivery and recruitment challenges with solutions, not sales.

• Get Started

Interim Resourcing

Rapid access to high-quality legal professionals for interim cover, project delivery, or scaling support without the need for long-term headcount commitment. I partner with trusted flexible talent providers to match the right resource to your team's needs, fast.

Start-up Legal Support

Practical, fixed-fee legal support for early-stage and scaling businesses delivered through a curated network of startup-focused lawyers who understand the pace and pressures of growth. Whether you're raising capital, hiring your first GC, or navigating commercial contracts, I’ll connect you to the right legal expertise without the traditional law firm overhead.

Recruitment Strategy

Unbiased, strategic advice on when and how to grow your legal team, without the pressure of candidate-led sales. I help GCs and legal leaders plan ahead, shape roles, benchmark compensation and select the right hiring model. Where needed, I work with a trusted panel of specialist recruitment firms to deliver results, managing the process and holding suppliers to account, so you don’t have to.

Outside Counsel Management

Independent benchmarking and strategic guidance to help you get more from your external counsel, whether that means reducing costs, improving responsiveness, or finding the right partner for a specialised mandate. I work alongside in-house legal teams to review firm performance, assess panel coverage, and advise on selection and fee models, ensuring your law firm relationships support both your budget and your broader business goals.

Why Work With Me?

Independent, informed and always on your side.

• I’ve worked with GCs and founders across industries — I know the pressure you're under to do more with less.
• I don’t sell a service — I offer a solution. If that means you don’t need to hire, I’ll say so.
• I partner with hand-picked providers so you don’t have to start from scratch.
