7 King's Bench Walk

Patrick accepts instructions across all areas of commercial law. His recent and current instructions include:

• Acting for a multinational in a civil fraud claim in the Commercial Court worth c. £100m.

• Acting for reinsurers in a multimillion-pound Bermuda arbitration relating to an E&O policy.

• Acting for a multinational seeking a permanent anti-suit injunction in the Commercial Court.

• Acting for the respondent to a s. 69 arbitration appeal in the Commercial Court.

Before joining 7 King’s Bench Walk, Patrick was the Judicial Assistant to Lord Leggatt in the Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (2022-2023) and to Mr Justice Calver in the Commercial Court (2021-2022). He has therefore gained significant insight into both first instance and appellate proceedings from the judicial perspective.

Patrick also previously practised as a solicitor at a Magic Circle law firm working in commercial litigation and arbitration in London and Washington DC where he gained experience of large-scale commercial disputes, investor-State dispute settlement and SFO investigations.
