Luke joined Elgar in 2000 as a commissioning editor, having spent the formative early part of his publishing career as an academic sales rep at Pearson Education. He began developing the Elgar law programme in 2004, before moving to OUP in 2008. He returned to Elgar in 2011 to oversee the continued growth of the Law list, and has commissioning responsibility for the fledgling practitioner law programme.

He guides a team of highly motivated editors, loves building lasting relationships with authors, and continues to enjoy publishing interesting books of the highest quality. Luke lives in Cheltenham with his wife and two children.
