With 20 years' experience of providing advice, legal analysis and training in national and international human rights, rule of law and justice sector capacity building, transitional justice and criminal law, I offer an authoritative, comprehensive and efficient consulting service.

I BLOG and TWEET regularly on issues of interest in our main areas of expertise.

I am a lecturer at the University of Liverpool Law School, and live in Manchester, UK. I have worked nationally and internationally, including in western and eastern Europe (particularly the Balkans), central and south-eastern Asia, the Middle East, west Africa and North America. 

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

human rights law

Independent advice on a wide range of human rights issues for both public and private organisations or individuals. The obligation to treat people with fairness, equality, dignity and respect are the key requirements of human rights law.

rule of law / justice sector capacity 
Functional, fair and accessible justice sector institutions are fundamental for any society. Building the capacity of the judiciary, the public prosecution service, private lawyers and other stakeholders is also critical. I provide expert consulting advice, training and analysis on all aspects of justice sector capacity building.

  

business and human rights

Businesses operating in unstable or conflict-affected regions may find themselves trading or dealing with parties who are accused of human rights abuses or even violations of international criminal law. Companies are under an obligation to ensure that they respect new UN guidelines.

transitional justice 

The different mechanisms by which countries emerging from conflict attempt to address the harms caused by the violence and to rebuild society: truth and reconciliation commissions, domestic or international criminal trials, reparations, memorials and beyond.
