I specialise in commercial litigation and arbitration. I have a wide range of experience in commercial disputes and act for UK-based and international clients across a range of sectors including financial and professional services, real estate and media.

I work across a variety of business sectors and a have wide range of experience in commercial litigation and arbitration. I also have experience in alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation and expert determination. Most of my work has an international element.

I chose to specialise in dispute resolution because every dispute has a unique story and requires different skills. It is rewarding to be trusted by clients to present their side of the story in a persuasive and compelling way, and to be able to provide bespoke strategic advice in difficult circumstances.

I particularly enjoy getting to know my clients and developing a thorough understanding of their business or personal circumstances. For me, building strong relationships and identifying a client’s objectives right from the start of our involvement in a dispute are the key to devising practical and cost-effective solutions that achieve the best possible outcome.

Outside of work, I can usually be found eating, thinking or talking about food. I grew up close to the Jurassic coast in rural West Dorset and try to escape city life with my young family as often as possible.

Rapid growth and constant innovation in the way businesses and individuals use, store, trade and consume information and content are continually raising new business and legal issues. In the fast-changing media and technology sector, where many traditional approaches are under challenge, we believe that a combination of experience in contract preparation, negotiation and dispute resolution, and a detailed understanding of IP, regulatory and licensing issues are critical. Businesses require professional advisers who understand the myriad issues affecting the industry.
