He specialises in commercial contracts of all kinds, partnerships and LLPs, company and insolvency, professional negligence and civil fraud. Within those areas his practice is wide-ranging, which enables him to advise and act with confidence in multidisciplinary cases. He is regularly instructed in cases which would otherwise require the services of a QC. He is noted for combining an excellent legal brain, good judgment, commerciality and a very approachable manner with an extremely conscientious approach towards research and preparation, persuasively presented paperwork and forceful and astute advocacy. He co-founded Chambers in 1975 and was head of 11 Stone Buildings from October 2004 till January 2015. He has sat as a Recorder since 2000. Although the vast majority of his work comes from solicitors or foreign lawyers, he does also undertake licensed and public access work.
