Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Skinner is an experienced commercial lawyer and founder who specialises in technology, software and data-driven transactions, advising startups through global banks and insurers for over a decade. Having been a partner at major US and UK firms, co-founded Radiant Law and now runs his own fixed‑price specialist practice, he blends big‑firm rigour with practical commerciality to get deals over the line. He routinely handles SaaS, hosting, outsourcing, payments, IP and data/privacy matters and has led complex procurements and platform rollouts for clients such as Deutsche Bank, Swiss Re, Sky and Amadeus. Equally at home representing customers or suppliers, he focuses on durable contractual frameworks that balance price, performance and governance rather than winning technicalities. Clients value his speed, availability and commercial judgement—he often acts as the bridge between legal terms and the business drivers that determine project success. A Modern History graduate from Oxford, he brings uncommon strategic perspective and clarity to technical legal problems.
