William operates across a broad range of sectors, including financial services, media, professional services, sport, leisure and private wealth.
William’s expertise includes leadership support, crisis communications, whistleblowing, discrimination, unfair prejudice, team moves, investigations, boardroom disputes, director liabilities, bonus, share incentive and profit share issues, as well as relationship and change management problem-solving and every kind of dispute resolution.
William advises on investment and exit terms for leaders, management teams and founders. Effective leadership and management team equity protection is needed, especially where a business’s return on investment is driven by quality leadership.
William’s approach includes offering multi-disciplinary, rapport-based, empathetic solutions expressed in his client’s language and in the context of their needs.
He focuses on values as much as value. He recognises that it is lonely at the top and many executives cannot show weakness or even discuss some concerns with their board or in-house team.
William is often referred to for his understanding of reputation protection, values, teamwork and the people aspects of transactions and governance.
He applies reputation, coaching and crisis management skills as well as an awareness that solutions to many business problems arise from the human context.
