Work Department
Dispute Resolution | | Procurement
Position
Terence is an experienced disputes lawyer and Legal Director in the commercial litigation team. He specialises in financial services litigation, including contentious regulatory matters and related insurance coverage advice and claims (including D&O defence) and procurement disputes.
Terence has been an insurance partner at a leading international insurance firm and has advised numerous financial institutions/retail financial services firms, corporates, private individuals and public sector clients, including local authorities, central government departments and insurers/reinsurers, on a wide range of financial and commercial disputes.
Terence frequently acts for IFAs and investment managers in contentious matters (on both an insured and uninsured basis), including defending claims and complaints of mis-selling/breach of mandate before both the Courts and the FOS, as well as FCA investigations and disciplinary proceedings and in respect of restrictive covenant and breach of confidentiality issues arising upon the exit of senior personnel/advisors.
Terence takes a risk-based approach, with cost-benefit firmly in mind, and is keen advocate of ADR. He seeks to keep relationships on track by focussing upon both dispute avoidance and the resolution of disputes at an early stage, with commercial considerations front and centre in his advice.
