"Understanding where the client is coming from is essential to how I work."

"My work falls largely within the professional practices sector. It's an area I really enjoy – advising sophisticated and high-profile clients on their most complex matters.

Understanding where the client is coming from is essential to how I work. I make it a priority to understand what a client wants to achieve and I'm clear when it comes to what we need from them to move things forward, and what might be standing in the way. This approach helps me tailor advice that is both practical and effective.

I bring a strong attention to detail to every matter I work on, without losing sight of the bigger picture."

Sean's recent work highlights:

Acting for a Big 4 accountancy firm in defending a substantial audit negligence claim arising from the collapse of an international business.

Advising Ingenious Media in High Court litigation relating to tax-efficient film investment partnerships.
