Being a litigator isn't just about going to Court, but about helping clients resolve disputes, or avoiding disputes in the first place.

In my case, the whole range of complex property disputes, from vacant possession strategies and right to light matters to landlord & tenant management issues and telecoms.

Although these days I often find myself advising property owners and investors, my experience acting for tenants/occupiers is a useful asset and helps me keep one step ahead.

Outside of the office, you'll finding me swimming in a river or lake, the colder the better!

I have a son and daughter and I am very proud to have brought them up perfectly bilingual (even if their little English accent was super cute when they were small!).
