I primarily act for government clients, private organisations and insurers in the areas of professional indemnity, property and casualty insurance. I also specialise in disputes that involve toxic torts and allegations against public authorities.

I take pride in my ability to work with my clients, focusing on providing timely and pragmatic advice, and resolving disputes on terms that best suit their needs and interests.
