Our Service

I am a dispute resolution expert specialising in complex, high-value commercial disputes both in UK and internationally.

I represent clients in complex commercial disputes, including domestic and international litigation and arbitration.

My practice covers a broad range of commercial disputes including breaches of contract, fraud and company/shareholder issues.

I regularly advise clients on business-critical issues across a wide range of industry sectors such as banking, finance, financial services, restructuring and insolvency, security enforcement, white-collar, M&A, private equity and oil and gas. My aim is always to deliver pragmatic and commercially-driven advice that has the client’s objectives at its core.

Outside of work I am typically found chasing my toddler and spaniel around the Surrey hills.

Experience
