Whether you’re just starting out in business yourself, or you’ve been going for some time, a business plan should always be considered a key tool to gear you up for success and act as a strategic road map guiding your goals.

Sheree puts considerable effort into managing risk across the business – not through the over-negotiation of contracts or stopping people taking risk – but by encouraging analysis of that risk and helping minimise it – often through innovative, non-legal routes such as seminars, training programmes, drop-in clinics and simple-to-use precedents for letters, pitches and quotes. Sheree is a highly commercial senior lawyer who works extremely well with clients, business partners and both senior and more junior people across all business areas. Having Sheree work from the New Zealand time-zone has really helped us speed up our transactions here in the UK.
