I have two day jobs, my first one is being the father of 2 girls and one little boy. Since 2020, I have focused on independent venture development at the intersection of justice, AI, litigation intelligence, funding and forensic workflows.
This work is now being shaped through Lab for Good, a private venture initiative in development, focused on how responsible AI can help improve access to justice for people and organisations facing complex, high-stakes disputes.
The belief behind Lab for Good is that many injustices are made worse by imbalance — imbalance of information, resources, funding, speed and access to specialist expertise. For claimants and smaller parties, complex disputes can quickly become a David vs Goliath fight, where the process itself becomes part of the harm.
Lab for Good is being developed to explore how AI can help level that field. The goal is not to replace lawyers, funders or forensic experts, but to support them with better evidence structure, clearer case intelligence, stronger funding readiness and faster access to the right expertise.
During this period, I have worked alongside globally recognised forensic, restructuring and investigations firms, including Alvarez & Marsal, FTI Consulting and Kroll, as well as leading law firms, litigation funders and specialist advisers across multiple jurisdictions.
This experience has given me practical insight into how complex claims are assessed, challenged, funded and resolved — from evidence and forensic review through to risk assessment, legal strategy and funding decisions. It has also reinforced my view that access to justice is not only a legal problem; it is also a data, evidence, funding and process problem.
Lab for Good is currently in private development and has not yet been publicly launched.
I have been a Founder, Co Founder, Partner and investor in Apply Digital Systems ( Sold to Builder.ai in August 2020 ) AG Bell Group, Humany, Next House, Delta Group, Centurion and Arctic.

Have been featured in Media like M6 Capital, CNN, FORBES, El Pais, La Vanguardia and El Mundo. Its been a lot of ups and downs, the learning curve have been fantastic, sometimes very hard, but as a close friend once told me, " Everything will be Ok in the end, if its not Ok, it's not the End "
