My Approach

I take a direct and honest approach to my work, which allows me to give clients clear and practical advice in what can often be difficult and/or stressful situations. My aim is always to reach the best possible commercial resolution to a matter, as efficiently as possible.

I act on a diverse range of legal matters with particular specialisms in commercial disputes and banking and finance litigation, to include mis-sold mortgages and other financial products, and professional negligence claims.

I continually monitor new developments in the law, particularly within the business and financial sector, in order to ensure that I am able to provide clients with relevant advice that reflects the current state of the law. I also aim to pick up trends in various claims, for example a potential trend in mis-sold second charge mortgage claims against FirstPlus Financial Group.
