I read law at The University of Leeds and qualified as a Solicitor in 1995. I head FBC Manby Bowdler's Litigation Department. That department is consistently recognised for the quality of our work in the Legal 500 and Chambers publications. I am used to dealing with high value and complex disputes.I have been recommended as a leading individual for my own Litigation work in the last 10 editions of the Legal 500 and am described as " very capable and commercial " (2012) , "does not sit on the fence " and "quickly gets to the nub of the issue" (2013) and "unflappable" (2014). I am also consistently ranked and recommended annually by Chambers & Partners. I am the past President of Wolverhampton Law Society.In 2018 I was appointed as my firm`s Senior Partner. I currently sit on my firm`s management board.I have over 25 years experience of commercial litigation work. My practice covers a wide spectrum of non-property related disputes including;Contractual disputesNegligence claimsInsolvency disputesConstruction disputesIntellectual property disputesWarranty and Covenant disputesShareholder and Companies Act disputesI fight my cases hard but never lose sight of my clients ultimate objective. Sometimes that objective is best served by a non-litigation route. I have conducted over 50 mediations to that end.
