Counsel for calls that truly matter.
Ongoing advice for leaders who need steadier judgement with patchy evidence — discreet, candid, and seated firmly on your side of the table.
People holding genuine responsibility
This work suits chairs, chief executives and senior teams facing a verdict — or a repeating habit of them — that routine process keeps mishandling.
- Boards with packed agendas and shallow debate.
- Executives navigating a merger, a crisis, or a strategy reset.
- Public bodies redrawing governance across wide mandates.
- Founders building a board designed to outlast them.
Three ways of working together
Board effectiveness review
Six weeks ending in a tight report and a guided discussion: where the board’s attention goes, what it dodges, and five changes worth making before the next cycle.
Decision audit
A forensic look at a year of your organisation’s heaviest calls — how long they took, who truly made them, and what the pattern costs.
Retained counsel
A standing arrangement: monthly working sessions, a phone line for hard weeks, and an outside view soaked enough in your context to count.
Confidential by default, blunt on principle
Each engagement begins with a consultation: ninety minutes on your most urgent question. If the fit is there, we fix scope, rhythm and an end date — most assignments run four to twelve weeks.
You get direct access, unpolished opinions, and materials your people can recycle: frameworks, one-page briefs, and notes worthy of the minutes — never theatre.
Consultation → scope → work → handover
One conversation opens the door. All that follows is settled in writing before it begins.
Before getting in touch
How does advisory differ from consulting?
No junior staff, no hundred-slide pack, no endless retainer. You work with Jordan in person, on a defined question, with an agreed finish line.
Will you work alongside our current advisers?
Gladly. The work typically runs parallel to auditors, lawyers and strategy firms — handling judgement and governance instead of duplicating their remit.
Is everything kept private?
Entirely. Client names appear here only with clear consent; several long-standing relationships are never named anywhere.
Where are you based?
London, working worldwide. Reviews and audits take place in person; retained counsel mixes face-to-face sessions with video calls.
