Our Service

My primary job is to help clients avoid litigation altogether. Where this is not possible, I help clients to progress and resolve their disputes as expeditiously possible.

I specialise in advising on issues relating to trusts. This encompasses a variety of matters, ranging from non-contentious trust restructuring advice, to complex, lengthy, and multi-jurisdictional trust litigation. I have acted on claims in the English courts, together with a host of offshore jurisdictions including Guernsey, Bermuda, and the Isle of Man.

Beyond trusts, I have experience acting in relation to director disqualification claims (including in respect of charities), bankruptcy actions, commercial restructuring and transactions, and a wide array of estate planning solutions.

Outside of the office, I play a lot of very amateur cricket, and am similarly enthusiastic about chess and long distance walking.
