Samuel leads the commercial contracts team. He trained in a technology practice and joined Ashford & Vale in 2012, becoming a partner in 2018.
He drafts to be read: the body of the agreement states the principles and the schedules hold what the business needs to update. He is happiest when a client uses a contract he wrote two years earlier and finds it still works.
He coordinates the firm’s retainer clients and sets the monthly review plans.
