About me
I’m a commercial dispute resolution lawyer who helps clients navigate disputes in the most commercially focused and practical way possible. My practice is wide-ranging, covering a variety of complex business disputes from commercial fraud, a particular specialism of mine, to contract disputes.
Based in Liverpool, I represent many local businesses, as well as clients from across the country and globally. My clients include corporate entities, SMEs, financial institutions and professional services firms, along with high-net-worth individuals and public sector bodies.
I’m a strategic thinker who puts clients first. I’m committed to really understanding each client’s unique goals and circumstances so that I can deliver tailored, high-impact solutions.
I’m known for being proactive and hands-on, as well as for remaining calm even in high-stakes situations. I really enjoy guiding clients through complex disputes and I always see the opportunity for resolution, whatever the challenge or circumstances involved.
As someone born and raised in Liverpool, I’m passionate about supporting my local community. I believe in giving back in meaningful ways and I’m proud to be actively involved in several initiatives with our local universities which ultimately help to foster opportunity, collaboration and growth.
