Our Service

I am a disputes lawyer who acts in a wide range of complex, cross border and high-value cases in both court and arbitration proceedings.

My litigation practice incorporates a broad range of commercial disputes with a focus on partnership disputes, civil fraud and contentious insolvency. I have particular experience of handling cases involving freezing injunctions, Norwich Pharmacal orders and other forms of interim relief. I have also managed proceedings in foreign jurisdictions and assisted foreign parties in obtaining evidence from parties in England & Wales pursuant to the Hague Convention.

I have advised and represented clients in international arbitration under the LCIA, ICC, GAFTA and UNCITRAL arbitration rules, as well as experience advising on ICSID arbitrations.

I commonly act for entrepreneurs, high-net worth individuals, energy companies, and clients in the finance, private equity and property sectors.

Away from work, I am a keen globe-trotter and enjoy pushing myself to explore new countries and cultures. This is something I enjoy with my family.
