Some stuff about me and Rebel Legal. Tech / IP / commercial lawyer for 20 years in private practice working with FTSE 100/250 and central government. Swimming with the tide. Mainly wearing ties, seriously striped suits, and black shoes. 7 of those years working within corporate legal departments. Questioning the tide. Mostly in chinos. 4-year-old legal entrepreneur on a learning curve. No longer own a suit or any ties.
