"I understand technology and how litigation works, both at a granular level and from a more strategic standpoint."
"My practice focuses on the technology sector, an area I genuinely enjoy, as it allows me to see how people are using technology to solve real-world problems in commercial contexts. Much of my work has an international dimension – I often work closely with lawyers in other jurisdictions in cross-border disputes and matters involving foreign or international parties.Clients value my ability to listen, understand their priorities, and present advice in a clear, practical way that cuts through the legal jargon. I'm commercially minded and outcome-focused in my approach – I understand technology and how litigation works, both at a granular level and from a more strategic standpoint."
