We are a *team of bright minds

Having qualified in 1987, I worked as a partner in national, City and US firms for the last 25 years. 

I am routinely called upon by clients when faced with all manner of crises, ranging from significant partnership and shareholder disputes, often with a sensitive family dimension, warranty and complex contractual claims, multi million-pound IT and project disputes, working with large teams with management challenges, as well as land, property and developer claims, planning disputes and trust litigation.

I am frequently instructed by large corporate institutions, property and construction companies and individuals.  I led a team on one of the longest trials in the Technology and Construction Court and advised a supplier on the largest healthcare project in the UK.  I resolve all disputes using various forms of ADR including mediation.

I am married with two sons and live in Harpenden. When not working I enjoy running and watching my sons play football and rugby.
