Meet Eddie
I've worked for solicitors in the City of London for over 40 years. Described by my clients as “the least lawyer-like lawyer” they’ve seen, my refreshing preference for plain-speaking and down-to-earth manner inspire trust.
My particular strength is in resolving problems in an efficient, speedy and economical way. I have extensive experience in business crime, commercial litigation, Revenue matters and extradition work.
I'm a member of BASL and represent several sports people, primarily in football; both playing and management staff. I've acted on matters before the FA disciplinary panel and its appeal panel as well as extensive FA investigations.
Recently, I successfully concluded major extradition case after a 21-year battle arising from one of the largest civil litigation matters ever heard by the English Court, involving multi-jurisdictional claims.
I have obtained a multi-million-pound judgment for a major business figure establishing fraud and forgery by the defendant within the civil court. I've also brought to the firm an excellent network of contacts together with a loyal client following, some of whom I have acted for in excess of 40 years.
When time allows for outside interests, I enjoy watching football (this is in spite of being a Crystal Palace season ticket holder), motor sport and travel. I've been married for over 40 years and have 2 grown up children and 2 wonderful grandchildren.
