 “My team and I not only get brilliant results, we're personable and fun to work with”

“I've acted in numerous cross-jurisdictional and multi-jurisdiction claims, representing both US and UK clients.  I have overseen the defence of large claims globally to ensure uniform strategy.  

I am hugely knowledgeable and experienced, and get to the important aspects of any matter quickly and early to provide far-sighted strategic advice.
