I’m an international commercial dispute resolution specialist and I’m known for my work on wet and dry shipping disputes, trade disputes, marine casualties and offshore/energy matters.

I advise on wet and dry shipping matters, contractual disputes, emergency response, offshore/energy, insurance, international trade, commodities, litigation and arbitration. My clients include shipowners, operators, charterers, contractors, salvors, insurers and traders.

I’m experienced at representing clients in English Commercial and Admiralty Court proceedings, as well as international arbitration (LMAA, LOF, LCIA, SIAC, SCMA, UNCITRAL and ad hoc). I’m specifically known for my work in complex arbitrations.

My approach is to provide practical, commercially focused, legally sound advice, offering the support clients need to solve the problems they face in real time. I help clients find innovative solutions to address difficult issues.

I advise on commercial issues and wordings within my area of specialism. I often write articles and present on my areas of expertise.
