Louise
Jacobs
Louise is a strategic thinker and thought leader with 35 years’ experience in the professional services sector. She started her career at leading financial and corporate PR firm Dewe Rogerson, before moving to a family investment and venture capital office, where she worked with entrepreneurs across a range of industries. Since running her own business, Louise has advised the trustees and senior management teams of large not-for-profit organisations such as The Princes Trust, Save the Children and MIND. As a coach, Louise deploys the tools gained through her years spent sitting at Board tables to help C-suite leaders transform the ways they navigate challenges on both macro and micro levels. Louise specialises in working with individuals who are coming to the end of their careers and seek alternative but equally rewarding ways of working. Her engaging style, decisiveness and empathy – as well as her understanding of difficult regulatory environments – help her deliver this kind of sustainable change to both individuals and teams.
Anthony
Julius
Anthony’s experience and expertise in the professional services sector centres around his distinguished legal career at Mishcon de Reya. He was head of the firm’s Litigation Department for 10 years and served on the management board from 1985 – 1997 before taking up his current role as Deputy Chairman. He is also currently a professor in the Faculty of Laws at UCL. Anthony also enjoys a notable career alongside his role at Mishcon, very much in keeping with the Flask Hill model of the flourishing extra-firm life. This has included being chairman of the Jewish Chronicle newspaper, chairman of the London Consortium and co-founder, first Chairman and Vice-President of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. He has also chaired or served as a non-executive director on the boards of several companies and as a Trustee of several charitable and non-profit organisations. Anthony is also a published author, who has written extensively on law, literature, art and culture.
Ramona
Mehta
Ramona’s career in professional services began as a lawyer with Mishcon de Reya. Between 2005 – 18 she was a Partner in Mishcon Private and Head of its Reputation Group, where she acted for high-net worth clients and their businesses. As a specialist commercial litigator Ramona regularly advised on urgent matters involving breach of privacy or defamation. Since 2018 she has combined her role as a consultant at Mishcon Private with Moor Strategy, the multi-family office that she founded to look after high-profile individuals and families. Now she brings the skills that have built her reputation in Private Client work to Flask Hill. Her experience in dispute resolution – the deft handling of complex matters, the ability to find solutions in deeply personal situations – are the same skills that enable a firm and a senior partner to turn an acrimonious separation into a harmonious exit. Ramona also adds her wealth of connections and contacts to the Flask Hill platform, including a seat on the board of four companies that span education, lifestyle, property, sustainable fishery and tech.
Rachael
Pollock
Rachael’s career in professional services embraces practitioner, lecturer, coach and mentor. She trained and qualified at Clifford Chance before moving to Mishcon de Reya as a commercial litigator in 2001, where she worked with two of Flask Hill’s other founders, Anthony Julius and Ramona Mehta. Much of Rachael’s work focused on libel, breach of confidence and reputation management. In 2006 she took up a role as Lecturer at the University of Law where she has taught ever since, preparing nearly two decades’ worth of students to enter the legal profession. She has taught a wide range of essential subjects (including litigation, dispute resolution, commercial, criminal and advocacy training) but her role has been more than academic. She has also been a coach and mentor to her students, combining this pastoral work with her extensive charity activities in the voluntary sector. It is this grasp of the professional and the personal, and how they combine (this time at the end of careers) that makes Rachael the ideal choice as Flask Hill’s first COO.
Sam
Clarke
Sam is a chartered accountant with 40 years’ experience in professional services. Over two decades Sam built up and ran a successful mid-sized accountancy practice, which earned a reputation for its high-performing finance teams and its loyal and passionate staff. In 2018 Sam sold the firm to a bigger practice, becoming a partner in the enlarged entity, before stepping down at the end of 2022. In many ways Sam spent the next two years test driving the Flask Hill way of working life, taking up a number of roles with different companies as a strategic business consultant and non-executive director, and making and understanding the transition from corporate life to ‘sole trader’ himself. Now he brings this insight along with his accountancy expertise to Flask Hill. Sam and his team will play an integral role establishing the platform that provides the high-quality financial and administrative back-up to a first intake of ‘Flask Hill advisors’ as they strike out on their own.
Arron
Kapoor
Graduating from UCL, Arron began his career in UK national broadcast media with the BBC and ITV. In that fast-paced landscape, he honed his skills in pitching, crafting compelling narratives, and building relationships with high-profile stakeholders. That experience now underpins his ability to help clients communicate with impact and unlock new opportunities.
At Flask Hill, Arron leads on growth strategy, client engagement, and the expansion of the Flask Hill Platform – a powerful network connecting leaders to insight and a vibrant community of like-minded peers long after they’ve moved on from a role. He partners closely with organisations to design tailored programmes, ensuring every transition strengthens both the individual and the business.
