In addition to my experience as a Barrister (2014+) and Commercial Litigation Solicitor (2004-14), I worked as in-house Counsel at the Financial Conduct Authority from 2009-2017. I therefore have 20+ years’ experience of advising UK/international companies, individuals or public bodies on matters of English Law in complex litigation.

I have been ranked as one of London’s Leading Junior Barristers in the Legal 500 for ‘Financial Services & Fintech Regulation’ (2023-26) and ‘Business & Regulatory Crime/Global Investigations’ (2023-24). I have also been praised by regulatory clients for “having sound judgement with a practical approach” and “focussing on the things that matter.”

I am a Fellow of the world-renowned Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb) and an Accredited Mediator. I am also one of the SFO’s Panel Counsel and was appointed as a Recorder (part-time Judge) on the South Eastern Circuit in 2020.

If I am unable to assist you then I may pass on your details to my clerks who might be able to offer alternative Counsel.

Fees: my market rate is c.£350+VAT per/hour (potentially negotiable in cases of hardship).

Area of Law

What sort of work do I do?

In summary my specialist expertise includes:

+ FINANCIAL REGULATORY CASES: I can advise and represent individuals or firms defending themselves in investigations or enforcement cases brought by financial/fraud regulators. For example, if you or your firm are facing an FCA, PSR, FRC, SFO (etc) investigation, or even a Financial Ombudsman Service complaint, then I may be able to assist you.

+ COMMERCIAL DISPUTES: If you are in a business dispute and defending a claim worth c£100k+ then I may be able to help you resolve it. This includes international disputes if your agreement is governed by English Law (e.g. the relevant terms & conditions will usually have a ‘governing law’ clause confirming this).

+ ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION: I may be able to help you resolve your dispute 'Out Of Court' if appropriate e.g. through Arbitration, Mediation or Settlement Negotiations. Whether any of these options is possible will depend on the particular situation in each case, but I would aim to get you the best possible outcome whatever the case.

Who do I work for?

Examples of my Direct Access cases include:

+ FCA Supervision & Enforcement Investigations: advising Directors/Firms defending themselves against investigations for alleged breach of various regulatory obligations and FCA principles.

+ Just Cash Flow v. Construction Company & Director: successfully defending Director and Construction Company (victims of ‘identity fraud’) in a contractual loan guarantee claim brought against them inappropriately by a business loan finance company.

+ Advising an Independent Financial Advisor on the defence of potential professional negligence claims for pensions investment advice.

+ Representation at Investigation Meetings, Disciplinary Committees, Courts & Tribunals.
