Greenwoods

Commercial Disputes

Partner, Head of Disputes

The best litigation strategies are not about the law.  They are about your objectives.

“My approach to litigation is rooted in a straight-talking, honest and realistic approach to objectives, costs and the prospects of success”.

Educated at St John’s College Cambridge University, Huw worked for ten years as a litigator at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and White & Case before working first as a partner in a regional firm, then forming his own boutique firm, which merged with Greenwoods in 2012.

Huw heads the Greenwoods’ Disputes team, which includes specialist sub-teams in Construction, Financial Services and Property Disputes, advising clients across all three of the firm’s offices.

“My experience means that I am regularly engaged to formulate bespoke strategies in critical disputes for major companies, as well as smaller owner-managed businesses and individuals in the region, nationally and internationally.  These disputes are often high-profile in nature”.

Huw has a wealth of experience in commercial disputes of all kinds, many featuring complex or international elements.  He has acted for clients in High Court proceedings, all the major arbitral forums and a number of specialist tribunals.  He also regularly deals with claims involving injunctive relief.

Huw has hosted a webinar on the implementation of Damages Based Agreements (DBAs) for LexisNexis and has written extensively on the topic.
