Research-led legal and regulatory
advisory on AI-driven and decentralised systems
I am a qualified lawyer (Ireland, England & Wales, Italy) and a PhD researcher at Trinity College Dublin, working on the governance challenges posed by AI-driven and decentralised systems to traditional legal frameworks.
My work combines doctoral research on decentralised artificial intelligence with more than 10 years in legal and regulatory practice, focusing on how law and governance can be redesigned for systems that operate through autonomy, code and distributed architectures.
I advise institutions and enterprises of all sizes on forward-looking governance and regulatory risk, helping leadership address structural problems.
When confronted with AI and decentralisation, governance must address structural risk and systemic impact, providing clarity, transparency and coherence.
I work with founders, boards, and leadership teams facing governance and regulatory constraints that directly shape system design and long-term viability.
My work is analytical and research-led, focusing on contexts where traditional legal and compliance approaches struggle to fully capture system behaviour, structural risk, and long-term governance implications.
I engage with questions of system design, architecture, incentives, and control, supporting decision-makers in understanding how regulatory and governance considerations operate.
How I work
My work sits upstream of compliance and implementation, where key design, governance, and control decisions are made regarding system-level governance and long-term institutional viability.
I maintain a limited number of advisory engagements to ensure depth, precision, and strategic continuity.
Initial Conversations
