A different perspective
Shak's professional background allows him to look at issues from more than one angle.
As a qualified Solicitor and regulated mortgage and protection adviser, he understands both the legal and financial dimensions of many of the decisions individuals and families face.
He also has first-hand experience of building and leading professional services businesses. His approach is practical, strategic and focused on finding solutions rather than simply identifying problems.
For journalists, that means an informed perspective that connects the legal, financial and human sides of a story.
