Advisory and consulting

I take on a limited number of advisory and consulting engagements alongside my academic work. My background combines finance research with legal training, which suits questions where markets, corporate decisions and regulation meet.

Areas

• Corporate governance and boards. Board effectiveness, executive incentives, shareholder engagement and governance reviews.
• Mergers, acquisitions and capital raising. Deal assessment, valuation questions, takeover defences and post-deal performance.
• Private equity and venture capital. Fund structure, diversification, portfolio strategy and market context, including China and Asia.
• Regulation and policy. Securities regulation, disclosure and readability of financial reports, class actions, misinformation law and investor-protection rules.
• Expert evidence. Independent expert reports and testimony on finance, valuation and governance matters.
• Speaking and training. Keynotes, executive education and in-house sessions on finance, econometrics and valuation.

Media and commentary

I am available for interviews and comment on markets, corporate affairs and economic policy at short notice. A list of recent appearances is on the Media page.
