I act for suppliers and customers in disputes relating to IT, outsourcing and digital transformation projects.

In many of those claims, it has been necessary to obtain urgent interlocutory relief, including mandatory and prohibitory injunctions and freezing orders in order to maintain the contractual status quo or preserve assets. I also have significant experience of acting in corporate disputes, cross border joint venture disputes and claims involving the sale and purchase of technology businesses, including breach of warranty disputes and disputes over valuations and earn outs.
