I advise boards of public and private companies on corporate governance and compliance issues.

In March 2018, I was named as a “Star” practitioner by market research company Acritas. The Star nominations are based on interviews with more than 4,300 senior in-house counsel around the world, who were asked to identify the best lawyers they had worked with in the previous year. Clients praised Nick’s professionalism, knowledge, creative thinking, willingness to help and availability. “He is able to give simple answers that everybody can understand,” said one client.
