"I have worked with a range of leading companies across sectors including financial services, retail & consumer, technology & media. Supporting our clients facing business-critical challenges is both fascinating and rewarding, and requires you to be a business adviser first and a legal specialist second.

First and foremost, I am seen as a trusted adviser. As well as being a skillful litigation strategist, I foster lasting client relationships, by being open, honest and straightforward. I enjoy working with clients to formulate strategies to achieve great outcomes.

I have extensive international experience – a large proportion of my clients are based outside the UK, but are dealing with disputes connected with English law or the jurisdiction of England. I have also advised on a significant number of international arbitrations."

Adam's recent work highlights: 

Acting for the Claimant in High Court proceedings relating to the ownership and control of Aeroitalia SRL.

Ebury Partners Belgium SA/NV v Technical Touch BV [2022] EWHC 2927 (Comm). Acting for the Claimant on a successful application for an interim anti-suit injunction, restraining the pursuit of proceedings brought in Belgium. It was one of the earliest reported cases in which the Court exercised its powers to grant anti-suit relief in respect of proceedings in the courts of an EU member state. 

Acted for one of the five Defendants to a claim being brought by two shareholders of a company specialising in the infrastructure of local Internet Service Provider delivery using fibre broadband technology. 

Acted for the Respondent to an ICC arbitration claim in which we defended a claim that our client made false representations in order to induce the claimants to invest in a Bulgarian retail development, achieving a resounding victory for our client.
