I negotiate and draft contracts in areas such as supply chain, procurement, facilities management, intellectual property exploitation, concessions, property management, outsourcing, logistics, manufacturing, supply of goods and services, international trade, consumer and travel law.

My advice is concise, contains no legal jargon and relevant to the commercial context.
