We are a *team of bright minds

I am a dedicated Commercial Disputes lawyer with a particular specialism in the emerging Cryptoasset sector.

I have diverse experience within commercial litigation, encompassing areas such as breach of contract, partnership and joint venture disputes, shareholder disputes, franchise disputes, product liability claims and debt recovery.

Working closely with our Sports division, I have acted for a number of high profile clients in the world of sports and entertainment where the disputes often possess a delicate and confidential nature. Understanding the unique challenges and privacy concerns that come with such cases, I prioritise discretion and confidentiality, ensuring that the interests and reputations of my clients are safeguarded.

My expertise is further complemented by a familiarity with prominent arbitration institutions. I have adeptly represented clients in arbitral proceedings under the rules of institutions such as the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS).

As the nascent Cryptoasset sector has matured, I have developed a particular focus and specialism in providing legal services and advice to clients operating in the Crypto and Digital Asset sector. From cryptoasset regulation and compliance advice to dispute resolution, my blend of traditional commercial litigation expertise, forward thinking approach and deep interest and understanding of digital assets, blockchain and the unique challenges and aims of the environment in which industry participants operate, positions me as a trusted legal advisor to many in the sector.

Notably among these is my work with one of the largest NFT projects on the Cardano blockchain. In addition, I have acted as a trusted Crypto lawyer to one of the industry’s leading mining platforms and have advised various token issuing entities as well as a tier 1 exchange, further solidifying my reputation as a trusted legal advisor in this growing sector.

I take great pride in working closely with clients to provide innovative, robust and cost-effective legal solutions.
