"Open and frequent communication fosters trust and transparency, which is crucial in any relationship."

“International clients form a substantial part of my practice.  I work regularly on complex cross-border disputes with international elements, which includes dealing with parties or disputes that are governed by foreign law. Clients appreciate how I take time to understand their business objectives and what they actually need.  They value my technical excellence and experience, in-depth industry knowledge, and attention to detail.
