I started as a commercial lawyer. Disputes, drafting, negotiations, and watching what happens when contracts fail and businesses are left working out their position after the fact.
Then I went inside. Five years at BHP leading global procurement. Here I was managing the teams that wrote and administered the kinds of contracts you're now being handed. I know how large organisations build their terms, what those terms are designed to do, and where they expect smaller contractors and suppliers to trip up.
Nex Legal exists to fix that because most businesses never get access to that combination. Usually its a lawyer who's read the contract, or a procurement lead who's run the other side. Rarely both.
Five years at BHP. Led global procurement teams. Managed contracts attached to hundreds of millions in spend. Sat in the room where the terms you're being asked to sign were written, negotiated, and enforced.
Five years as a commercial lawyer before that. Watched contract disputes destroy relationships and burn cash that should have stayed in the business, while helping clients grow their businesses across other matters.
Founded Nex Legal so business owners can stop reading contracts a midnight.
