Career
Simon is an experienced disputes, risk and regulatory advisor to an array of blue-chip clients in the technology and financial services sectors. He specialises in large scale, complex commercial litigation and has significant experience in running fraud, white collar crime, regulatory and investigations matters. Simon also advises clients on the contentious aspects of cyber and data security issues.
In addition to advising General Counsel, Simon is regularly called upon to address litigation issues at boardroom and senior management level. His clients – which include Google, eBay, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, PayPal, Goodman Fielder, Wesfarmers, Klarna and Bank of China – seek out Simon for his deep understanding of their business and commercial drivers and ability to provide strategic advice which often keeps his clients out of the courtroom.

Corrs Chambers Westgarth‘s commercial litigation team is a ‘well-oiled machine‘. Led by ‘standout litigator’ Mark Wilks

Wilks’ practice focuses on financial services and resources disputes, especially those which are of particularly high value.
