Irwin Mitchell

Commerical litigation

Partner

I act for a range of clients in high-value, complex and cross-border commercial disputes. I offer my clients a practical and strategic approach to resolving challenging issues. I qualified as a solicitor in 2012, and since then I have developed a strong track record of successfully advising clients during demanding situations.

I have particular expertise in contractual disputes, company and shareholder matters, professional negligence claims, insurance disputes, and international arbitration. I am known for my ability to analyse complicated information quickly, identify the core issues, and guide clients through disputes strategically towards a successful conclusion.

Much of my practice is focused on the sports sector, where I’m recognised as a leading sports lawyer by some of the UK’s leading independent legal guides, including the Legal 500.

In the sports industry, I frequently advise clubs, teams, national and international governing bodies, and individual athletes on both domestic and international matters. This includes advising on policy and procedure and on high-profile disciplinary matters, which have received national coverage in The Guardian and the BBC. I also advise on regulatory matters and in commercial disputes which have also received national coverage, as well as advising on safeguarding cases.

I regularly act in high-value international arbitrations across a variety of sports. Clients value my ability to navigate evolving regulatory frameworks while protecting their commercial interests.
