I also specialised in International Oil Pollution issues and was heavily involved in looking into the regulatory reviews following the Macando Oil Spill. I worked closely with the Shipping, Energy, and Insurance industries in a number of areas and organised and contributed to Lloyd's report 'Drilling in Extreme Environments' and 'An Arctic Opening; Opportunity and Risk in the High North'. I also acted as Legal Mentor to the Lloyd's Graduates on the Lloyd's Claims Talent Course, and organised two important Seminars with Lloyds and Clyde & Co. - a hypothetical energy disaster scenario played out in 5 Jurisdictions- UK/ Russia / US/ Brazil / Australia, (attedance over 300), and a wreck removal conference (attendance over 400).
