New Square Chambers

Roger is a highly experienced commercial chancery barrister with a particular focus on financial disputes. His practice covers both debt finance—including matters relating to banking and insolvency—and equity finance, such as shareholder disputes and claims involving breaches of directors’ duties.

Allegations of fraud and dishonesty are a recurring feature of Roger’s caseload, frequently necessitating the use of freezing orders and other forms of injunctive relief. A significant proportion of his work also involves complex, cross-border jurisdictional issues.

Prior to being called to the Bar in 2015, Roger was a partner in a firm of solicitors. This background affords him a valuable understanding of the commercial realities faced by clients, and he is known for delivering clear, pragmatic advice that supports informed decision-making. He is approachable, responsive, and takes pride in being accessible to clients to discuss matters as they arise. He particularly enjoys cases that present intricate or seemingly intractable issues, and those requiring creative and analytical thinking to resolve.

Roger is recommended as a leading junior in banking and finance by The Legal 500, which notes: “Roger clearly has vast experience advising on banking matters. He is able to pick out issues with ease.”
