Simon Smith

Simon was an equity partner for 30 years and the Managing Partner of 2 regional law firms during an 18 year career in law firm management. In addition to consultancy, training and assessment work, Simon is now a busy Non Executive Director. He chairs Audit & Risk Committees, and Governance Committees, across several sectors including for a UK wide legal regulator, for the Police and in social housing.

Having benefitted from management training with Prof. Martin Read and others (when hopefully at least a bit rubbed off!) Simon is passionate about everyone having the opportunity to become the best they can be. He is very pleased to be an ILFM tutor.

When not working, Simon is a keen walker, bird watcher, and a Mercedes Benz classic car enthusiast regularly to be found under the bonnet of fellow enthusiast’s cars!
