About me
I specialise in banking and asset finance litigation.
I have 30 years of experience of acting for retail banks, challenger banks, specialist asset finance providers and motor captives, as well as high-net-worth individuals.
My areas of focus are asset-based lending, security enforcement and the prevention, detection and recovery of fraud related losses. I have experience of advising at board level on a range of operation risk issues, including financial crime, claims for breach of confidentiality and data breach, FCA regulatory compliance and CIFAS marker disputes.
Along with this, I’ve dealt with the strategic management of consumer mis-selling waves involving finance products such as interest rate SWAPs, PPI, payday lending and motor finance commissions.
I’m a problem-solver and ultimately my goal is to relieve the clients’ workload by providing dynamic solutions to address the issue.
I take a collaborative approach, working with clients to develop a tactical framework to bring about the strategic resolution of disputes. My aim is to achieve a cost-effective outcome as quickly and decisively as possible, utilising alternative dispute resolution where it’s in the clients’ best interests.
From the outset of any dispute, I’m always conscious of preserving the clients’ reputation, ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining the highest standards of professional integrity.
