Director of Governance & Law at Kent County Council, Geoff heads up one of the largest teams of local authority lawyers in the country, with 125 lawyers serving over 600 public sector clients nationwide and generating over £2.5m pa profit. It is designed and managed to run as a fully traded business along private sector lines, whilst retaining a strong public sector ethos. Geoff believes passionately that public sector lawyers should dispel their image as bureaucratic civil servants and display their talents as entrepreneurs to be measured against the best across the whole legal profession. Geoff was named Leader of the Year at the Law Society Awards 2011, where the judges described him as “someone who has made a dynamic contribution to legal services in the public sector.” He was named Legal Industry Pioneer at the FT Innovative Lawyer Awards 2012 and 2013, and General Counsel of the Year at the British Legal Awards 2012. He was most recently named the Most Innovative European In-House Lawyer in the FT Innovative Lawyers Awards 2014.
