Life before Axiom: Reed Smith; Ashurst Morris Crisp; Ford Motor Company; Edinburgh University MA in Geography
I became a lawyer because: Despite trying to rebel (sales and marketing at Ford), it runs in the blood!
Something you should know: I slept the night in a field full of grazing wild hippos... and survived.
Vice: Curry
If I could be anywhere in the world: Lunch in the sun at La Terrasse in Morzine, France, after an energetic morning skiing.
Three things I would take to a desert island: My family, my camera and a solar powered charger.
Life at Axiom: Employment lawyer at Bank of New York Mellon

The ongoing implementation of the Companies Act 2006 has led to a complete overhaul of the legal regime governing companies and the way in which they are run.

The main areas that this afternoon course will focus on are Company issues for 2009, life under the Companies Act 2006, AGMs, share issues and FSA listing rules.

The Future of Regulation: the Turner Review and Beyond
In terms of regulation, paradigms are shifting and the FSA is seizing the opportunity to reform its rules in the post credit crunch environment. This course will cover The Turner Review Recommendations, SYSC changes and other new codes of practice. This is a must for regulatory lawyers but equally interesting for all.

The five days of the Royal Meeting at Ascot (16 - 20 June) provide one of the most unique and colourful occasions on the sporting calendar. Queen Ann founded Ascot races in 1711 and the Queen still leads the procession from Windsor Castle to the race course each day.

Royal Ascot is the world's most famous race meeting and is steeped in history. Always a superb sporting and social occasion, it combines tradition and pageantry with unrivalled racing action. With the prize money set at £3 million, the only distraction from the course is the array of outfits and hats on display ranging from the chic to the obscure! Make a day of it and see the beautiful Berkshire countryside.

If you'd rather stay close to home, head to the Taste Festival in Regents Park (18 - 21 June). For three full days, famous chefs from the capital's finest restaurants will be on hand to serve up their signature dishes and share their best kept kitchen secrets while 150 top notch food and drink producers dish out the samples and top up your glass. Taste of London is the ultimate day out for the discerning foodie.
