Mentions

Pensions

He's simply the best pensions barrister there is. It's not especially close either. A fantastic legal thinker and one of the hardest working lawyers I know. A superlative advocate who knows just how to put things for the court.

Private wealth and probate

His experience is unrivaled - there is nothing he hasn't seen. Thoroughly deserving of his stellar reputation.

Tax: personal

Charisma and the ability to distill complex issues into clear points for clients and judges to follow with ease.

The English Bar Offshore

Trusts and private wealth

Brian is equally brilliant in contentious and non-contentious cases and is the most valuable member of any team. We seek out Brian for our major cases, usually involving billions of pounds. He always brings unusual, valuable insights and deploys creative strategies that others would not have imagined. He has a wonderful mind and can be very intellectual, but is also practical, strategic, down to earth, and can articulate the most complex matters clearly and succinctly. Judges respect and enjoy these qualities, and Brian is a masterful advocate.
