Trusted counsel when markets and reputations are on the line.
I advise C-suite leaders and investors in every sector through the moments that count: major transactions, regulatory change and reputational matters — with deep specialism in the critical-minerals economy and financial services, from mine to market to money.
Work is discreet. Outputs are direct. Stakes are understood.
Three decades at the intersection of regulation, capital and reputation — G7, FATF and EU policy work; HM Treasury and the UK financial regulator; EMEA regulatory affairs leadership at JPMorgan; sustainable finance on both the buy-side and sell-side; responsible-sourcing standards across mining and metals. Now applied through an independent strategic advisory and communications practice.

“Dan was our sole strategic adviser through a complex cross-border merger. He combined regulatory depth, deal judgement and message discipline in one seat — counsel we’d normally have needed three firms to get.”
