Gary Gallen
CEO, rradar
Sheer determination and an undaunted spirit drove Gary Gallen forward in the first two years of setting up rradar. He knew there was a better way of delivering legal services; so much so that he worked from his home conservatory without any income. Nine years on, rradar is a fast-growing £10mn-a-year business.
UK SMEs lose £40bn annually to legal problems — this is what Gary wanted to tackle. Delivering legal advice via a suite of digital tools developed in-house, Gary’s brainchild helps clients easily access information faster and manage commercial risks before they become costly legal problems.
I subscribe to educating myself, and having the ability to adapt and the resilience to bounce back if things go wrong. Overcoming challenges by combining the knowledge, skills and initiative is necessary to anticipate needs and bring new ideas to the market.”
Gary’s drive to increase the utility and marketability of rradar’s digital solutions has borne fruit, with a wide portfolio of digital tools that work for clients. He believes the law is there to help people.
