Practising in financial services, pensions, and regulatory law, with a complementary focus upon allegations of professional negligence and professional discipline.A recent case (Safeway v Newton [2020] EWCA Civ 869) is the leading authority on pension scheme equalisation (the case received two judgments from the Court of Appeal, and one from the CJEU). Another recent case (Univar v Smith & Ors [2020] EWHC 1596 (Ch)) is the leading authority on pension scheme rectification (the case also considered a host of other issues).I cover all kinds of issues in relation to these core areas of expertise, including:• Defending professionals in financial services proceedings (eg Lloyd's of London v Richard Tomlin), as well as acting for Regulators themselves; Interpreting pension scheme and general commercial documentation (eg Safeway, which is a leading authority on the construction of pension scheme documents);• Regulatory action by the Pensions Regulator and / or the FCA (eg TPR v W - C46205159);Professional negligence actions involving those involved with pension schemes (for example lawyers and actuaries);• Rectification of scheme documents or contracts - including Univar v Smith [2020], and various ongoing disputes - especially disputes regarding disputed indexation (RPI/CPI).Directories:“He has a very thorough and well-founded knowledge, and he is very practical and client-friendly" - Pensions, UK Bar, Chambers & Partners 2021"He is able to get to grips with technical issues and provide clear advice quickly" - Pensions, Chambers & Partners 2021"personable, technically outstanding, and very hard working and responsive" - Financial Services Regulation, Legal 500, 2021"An exceptional advocate" - Legal 500"Very dynamic and bright" - Chambers & Partners, 2021"A very talented barrister who has a keen eye for detail" - Legal 500, Financial Services
