About

I specialise in dispute resolution, with expertise in advising clients on complex coverage issues and insurance claims.

I am a Senior Associate in the dispute resolution team. I act on both the claimant and defendant side in a broad range of commercial and insurance disputes.

I have acted for clients connected with the insurance industry including policyholders, brokers, insurers and managing general agents. I have over 6 years’ experience assisting clients with their insurance disputes at pre-action, arbitration, mediation and in litigation.

I have extensive experience advising clients with respect to coverage and insurance claims across all classes of business including professional indemnity (PI), error and omissions (E&O), directors and officers (D&O), crime, cyber, property damage and business interruption (PDBI), warranty and indemnity (W&I) and political risk insurance.

Much of my work has an international element, and I also have a keen interest in political risks insurance, with recent experience handling a complex coverage arbitration dispute following an overseas expropriation event.

I frequently advise clients on a wide variety of high-value PI claims; and PDBI losses arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic.
