Daniel is a Partner in our commercial disputes practice in London, with a particular focus on the financial services sector and professional practices. He specialises in financial services litigation, where he acts for a range of clients, including asset managers, investment advisors, European banks, corporates and family offices. Daniel is also an expert in complex commercial disputes - including contractual, shareholder and company disputes, claims for breach of confidence and claims defence for accountancy firms.

“My approach is flexible, highly responsive, and always tailored to a client’s specific needs.”

“I have over 15 years' experience of commercial disputes, particularly in the financial services sector and in claims against the major investment banks. I also specialise in professional practices, in the context of claims defence for the Big Four accountants, which gives me the opportunity to work alongside their highly sophisticated in-house legal teams.

Much of my work is for international clients or has a cross-border element. I have expertise in the cross-border enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards.

My approach is flexible, highly responsive and always tailored to a client’s specific needs. I bring technical expertise, creative and strategic thinking, tenacity, attention to detail, and effective team management to get the best out of people at all levels.”
