Originally from the Isle of Man and based in Dubai since 2014, I help legal professionals across the Middle East turn complex, cross-border finances into a clear plan they can act on. I am UK and US qualified with over 15 years’ experience, and I lead technical and private client advice at Skybound Wealth, focusing on multi-jurisdiction cases involving pensions, retirement planning, investments, tax considerations and estate planning. Clients typically come to me when their finances look fine on paper but feel fragmented in real life, and they want straight answers on whether they are genuinely on track for retirement. I have also written for the Financial Times, Money Marketing and The National.
