About me
A true specialist who’s practised for over three decades, I’m regarded as a market leader, and I manage our cargo and logistics team.
I advise clients across the global supply chain, covering the handling and movement of goods by sea, air, road and rail.
I’m highly knowledgeable in transport law and international trade practice. I’m experienced in handling both contentious and non-contentious logistics and shipping related matters, dealing with complex, high-value disputes, often with cross-border elements.
My clients include marine insurers as well as various intermediaries ranging from brokers and recovery agents to surveyors and loss adjusters. I also work with logistics operators and port authorities along with clients that purchase logistics services and overseas marine law firms.
I combine a thorough grasp of the law and global logistics industry with a keen commercial instinct to offer focused insight and practical solutions. I go above and beyond and I’m always ready to help clients tackle difficult problems in ways that best suit their interests.
I focus on building lasting relationships with clients and colleagues, offering support wherever I can. I also regularly take part in charity events hosted by both the firm and our clients.
