International trade, economic development and technology

Welcome to my website on international trade, economic development and technology. I have worked in these fields for close to 20 years now, advising sovereigns and corporates on the legal and policy ramifications of international trade rules and - more recently - the risks and opportunities presented by new treaty commitments intended to govern the digital economy. Please do not hesitate to use the contact functions on this website to get in touch and give me any feedback you may have on anything you see or read on this website.
