About me
I specialise in cargo and logistics disputes, advising on cargo claims, subrogated recoveries, transport liability and insurance policy matters. I act for insurers, brokers, logistics providers and claims agents, helping them resolve claims quickly, commercially and with the clarity they need to move forward.
Clients value my ability to make complex legal and technical issues easy to understand. I’m proactive, responsive and always aim to deliver practical solutions that align with commercial goals.
I’m proud to lead the firm’s Responsible Business Executive for both the Planet and Client pillars, as well as helping to shape how Hill Dickinson embeds ESG across its business.
Outside work, I’m a committed Disney World devotee (annual family trips are non-negotiable) and the proud dad of two kids who inspire me every day. You’ll also find me reading Jack Reacher novels. I promise I’ve got better taste in legal strategy than in fiction.
