Our Service

I specialise in commercial disputes including those concerning breach of contract, companies and partnerships and civil fraud.

I have experience in a wide range of general commercial litigation matters involving both the High Court and the Court of Appeal. I also specialise in alternative dispute resolution such as arbitrations and mediations. I have advised a variety of clients including banks, entrepreneurs and corporates operating in a range of sectors such as technology, sport and energy.

Outside of work, I row competitively. When I am not rowing, I am a keen cyclist and enjoy traveling to Europe for cycling holidays.

Experience
