What can I do for you

Sophie is a lawyer in Mills & Reeve's top ranked commercial team, focussing on the technology, health and government sectors.

What do others say

Sophie is proud to have been ranked as a 'Next Generation Lawyer' for IT law in both Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for a number of years, with feedback from clients that she: "... picks up matters seamlessly. She understands our contracting positions and appetite for risk."

Supporting your ambitions

Sophie supported UCLH on its multimillion-pound procurement to appoint a digital transformation partner. She worked with UCLH to tailor the contract, ensuring it could be used as a tool for driving IT-focussed change in alignment with UCLH's key strategic objectives.

Sophie has also worked with Redgate, leading provider of software tools for developers and data professionals, on a major overhaul and restructure of its standard licensing documentation. She helped Redgate make the documentation more user friendly and agree a beneficial commercial approach to typical 'problem' clauses, leading to a reduction in the number of customer queries prior to purchase.
