“My clients find me friendly and approachable, and I balance this easy working style with fierce advocacy on their behalf.”
“I enjoy working with my clients to achieve great outcomes, and pride myself on providing responsive, astute, and commercial legal advice built on excellent client service and an in-depth knowledge of professional negligence defence work. Many of my cases have an international element in the underlying subject matter, often relating to international litigation or offshore trust work.My clients find me friendly and approachable, and I balance this easy working style with fierce advocacy on their behalf. Successful collaborative working is built on a foundation of trust, so I think it’s important to take the time to build relationships that will be long-lasting. A big part of that is knowing when to discuss matters in person or over the phone, as opposed to advising by email.”
