About me

I’m a commercial dispute resolution lawyer, with a focus on company and partnership disputes, civil fraud, complex contractual claims, sports disputes and professional negligence. I help clients navigate high-stakes litigation and alternative dispute resolution to achieve practical, strategic outcomes.

I represent a diverse range of clients, including property investors/developers, shipping companies, athletes, sports clubs and individual directors/shareholders of companies across various industries.

My approach prioritises clear communication, early risk assessment and tailored dispute resolution strategies to meet each client’s objectives. They’d describe me as strategic, tenacious and dependable – someone they can trust to be fully invested in their case and who delivers results with calmness, clarity and professionalism.

As well as extensive experience of English Court proceedings, I’ve acted in international arbitration and disciplinary tribunals and have significant expertise in mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

What I value most about my role is achieving successful outcomes in challenging cases and helping clients resolve disputes that have a significant impact on their businesses or personal lives.

Having previously worked in-house, I bring not only legal expertise but also an understanding of the commercial realities my clients face.
