About

I work on all types and all aspects of commercial disputes, including claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and professional negligence claims, as well as advising on conflict of laws and jurisdiction issues.

I help clients resolve a wide range of commercial disputes whether through negotiated settlement, court or arbitration proceedings. I also advise on how to avoid disputes arising in the first place by giving advice on potential liabilities and risks.

I have experience of dealing with claims before various forums, including not only the courts, but also arbitral tribunals, the Pensions Ombudsman and the Competition and Markets Authority.

Much of my work has an international element and I am familiar with liaising with lawyers in different jurisdictions.
