About Me

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

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.

Dispute Resolution

I have experience of dealing with claims in the various divisions of the High Court as well as conducting international arbitration, ranging from lower value to multi-million pound claims. Recent cases include:

• acting for a major retail corporation in proceedings for a declaration concerning the interpretation of certain provisions of a complex relationship agreement
• acting for a high net worth individual in a professional negligence claim against his former tax advisers
• acting for both individual and corporate claimants in claims for unpaid fees from a hedge fund
• acting for an international construction contractor in an ICC arbitration concerning claims valued at over €300m arising out of the construction of a gas pipeline

Retail, Hospitality & Leisure

I act both for and against retailers and hospitality providers. Recent experience includes:

• acting for a major retail corporation in High Court proceedings against the provider of its store credit cards
• acting for a marketing agency in a dispute with a major supermarket
• acting for a software developer in an dispute with an events management company
• representing a major retailer in an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority
