Most product managers learn the domain after they join. I started in it.
I spent three years as a practising civil litigator — managing independent caseloads in occupational disease and personal injury under the Civil Procedure Rules. That experience taught me how legal reasoning actually works: the structure, the constraints, where judgment is irreplaceable, and where process can be systematised.
That foundation shaped everything that followed. At Thomson Reuters / Practical Law, I translated England & Wales civil litigation into an automated decision tree used by thousands of UK law firms. Not as an observer — as someone who had done the work the product was trying to support.
Since then: digital transformation across 25+ products and 6 countries at Leyton. AI workflow integration and compliance product delivery at Patrianna across KYC, GDPR, and SDK governance. Fintech onboarding at scale. Startup CPO work in AI-assisted legal document management.
My point of view: most legal AI fails because it's built by people who've never had to explain a limitation to a judge, a client, or a regulator. Legal reasoning has structure — but it also has judgment calls that don't compress well into workflows. Knowing the difference is the job.
Open to senior product roles in legal tech and AI transformation where domain depth and product execution both matter.
