About me
I’m a yacht specialist, with a particular focus on yacht related claims and litigation.
I advise on everything from day-to-day legal problems to strategic and operational issues. The types of clients I represent include yacht owners, charterers and brokers along with yacht service providers.
I aim to be a steady hand in high-pressure situations, listening closely to understand what clients need, then offering the clear, commercially focused advice that delivers results.
My expertise is grounded in my lived experiences, as I’m a keen sailor and a qualified Yacht Master. I’m well versed in the world my clients live in, and the unique headwinds they face, so I can put myself in their shoes, making sure the approach I take is fit for purpose, every time.
Challenges bring out the best in me. It’s a real joy when I get to tackle a complex issue and see how the end result benefits the client, whether that’s helping them secure a victory at arbitration or making their life easier by solving a particularly pressing problem behind the scenes.
