I have almost 20 years of experience in resolving business disputes. I work as part of the hugely successful commercial litigation team at Foot Anstey and am an expert in advising on all aspects of the dispute resolution process, from early settlements and mediations through to worldwide freezing injunctions and contested High Court trials. I handle both day-to-day commercial problems through to business critical disputes.I am recognised as a leader in my field by clients and legal directories alike who say that I am "sensible and get down to the real focus of the issue" (Chambers 2019),"very knowledgeable, calm, pragmatic and perceptive as to the strengths and weaknesses of a case" (Chambers 2018) and "probably one of the most diligent lawyers we have worked with. He's very accurate and just exceptional" (Chambers 2017).I am particularly interested in affording our business clients with new opportunities to manage litigation budgets and to challenge the traditional routes of financing court proceedings. I have specific expertise when it comes to putting in place litigation funding and insurance and am spearheading my team's drive to offer businesses with a fixed fee solution to dispute resolution.Specialisms include: appeals, arbitration, banking litigation, financial services disputes, fraud, injunctions, insolvency, insurance, mediation, professional negligence, regulatory complaints, shareholder disputes and trials.
