“My clients value my legal analysis, market knowledge, and commercial acumen.”
"Most of the claims I work on have an international element, either because the clients are based overseas or because the events in question have a multi-jurisdictional aspect.
I always look to do the best job I can for a client and like to think my clients value my legal analysis, market knowledge, and commercial acumen.
The personal touch is important where clients are concerned, as is responsiveness. I always seek to keep clients informed and pride myself on providing practical, commercial advice, which is tailored to the needs of that client and that matter."
