Why choose me

My practice covers a broad spectrum of commercial disputes. I have been involved in commercial disputes for over 25 years and have developed an expertise in financial services and banking disputes, shareholder and investment disputes, fraud and asset recovery, partnership disputes, contractual claims and professional negligence claims.

I work across a number of sectors including banking, technology, private equity and financial services. My cases often include a cross-border dynamic and may require early consideration of applications for freezing orders, delivery up orders or search orders.

I have worked for a broad range of clients including multinational companies and high-net-worth individuals. My cases have included advising on a range of disputes including investment disputes, crypto disputes, complex cross-border asset tracing projects, procurement disputes and contentious trust litigation in offshore jurisdictions.

I have advised a number of international investors in respect of shareholder disputes, unfair prejudice petitions and investment disputes. Such cases may include, among others, considering breaches of fiduciary duty by directors for failing to act in the best interest(s) of the company, derivative actions and enforcement of shareholders’ rights to purchase or sell shares.

International Asset tracing, enforcement and recovery work is a key area of my practice. Such cases need a strategic and prompt response led by a multi-disciplinary team to identify and preserve assets using the legal enforcement tools available. I have recent experience of multi-jurisdictional asset tracing disputes including the enforcement of foreign judgments in the High Court. Further I have experience of advising on freezing orders and third party disclosure orders arising from complex asset tracing investigations.

Along with commercial, cross-border and technology disputes, my specialisms include judicial review, trust litigation, mediation and ADR. I am also called upon by firms to act as an independent Supervising Solicitor for their search orders.

I regularly write and speak on various topics arising from commercial disputes, and am a committee member of the London Solicitors Litigation Association.

I am also a founder and director of Project UpLIFT. Project UpLIFT is a not-for-profit forum that provides support, networking, advocacy, and mentoring for LGBTQI+ and allies working in the legal, investigations and forensic fields. We seek to foster an environment that challenges prejudice, educates employers, and promotes personal and career development in a diverse international space.

Outside work my passions include travel and enjoying live music and sport.
