Our Service

I am a disputes lawyer, representing companies and individuals across a broad range of complex, cross-border and high value court and arbitration proceedings.

Clients often find that litigation can be a daunting prospect that takes up considerable amounts of valuable time and effort. My role as a litigator involves quickly getting to grips with the underlying facts and issues in order to resolve disputes successfully and efficiently. Clients trust me to put forward their best case at all times, often in fast-moving circumstances that require strategic flexibility, enabling them to divert more attention to their day-to-day jobs and lives.

My practice is multi-disciplinary, with a particular focus on civil fraud, financial markets, international arbitration and private wealth disputes. My extensive experience as a litigator can be applied to almost any type of dispute and I represent corporates and entrepreneurs in commercial disputes across a variety of sectors, often involving an international element.

Outside of the office, as a keen linguist I love to travel and have lived in Kazakhstan, Russia and Italy. These days I am spending more time with my young family in London but I look forward to sharing my interest in other countries and cultures with them in due course.

Experience

My recent experience includes the following:

Defending a Bahamian foundation in a fraud claim brought against 45 defendants by the Kuwaiti social security authority. The claim – valued in excess of £1bn – involves allegations of fraud across several jurisdictions and was recently listed among The Lawyer’s Top 20 cases in 2025.

Bringing fraudulent misrepresentation proceedings for a claimant investment fund seeking the return of its £30m investment. We successfully obtained a declaration from the court in relation to interpretation of the company’s articles and conversion of shares, leading to a successful outcome for the client.

Defending the CFO of an international insurance business in liquidation against claims brought by the company’s insolvency practitioner, including breach of directors’ duties under Liechtenstein law and conspiracy to defraud the company.

Pursuing fraudulent misrepresentation arbitration proceedings (ICC) for an international farming and food production business against a provider of land-based fish farming technology.

Acting for an individual beneficiary in the highly contentious restructuring of a series of trusts involving four generations across three family branches, with a large and successful business as the main asset, the negotiation of which ran for several years.
