Biography

I am a Commercial Litigation solicitor and advise and assist both businesses and individuals in resolving disputes. After a degree in law at the University of Oxford, I qualified as a solicitor in 1996 and have specialised in this area of practice ever since.

I have experience in a broad range of litigation and dispute resolution, including:

complex commercial and contractual disputes
director and shareholder disputes, including minority shareholder unfair prejudice claims
probate and estate disputes, including claims under the Inheritance Act 1975
construction litigation, including adjudication
professional negligence claims, including claims against solicitors, accountants, architects and surveyors
debt recovery
injunctions
litigation in the county courts, the High Court (including the Technology & Construction Court and the Business & Property Courts), the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court
I also have wide experience of various forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and expert determination.

I am a member of the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association and the Society of Construction Lawyers.

My aim is to understand at the outset my clients’ commercial aims and to determine early on how best to achieve them. My focus is on achieving practical commercial solutions for my clients through whichever means of dispute resolution is most appropriate in the circumstances.
