Core Values

At the heart of my practice are four core principles: expertise, integrity, a collaborative approach to dispute resolution and discretion and confidentiality. These values are integral to everything I do, shaping how I approach each case, interact with clients, and achieve positive outcomes.

Expertise

With over 30 years of experience as a disputes lawyer litigating cases, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of those legal disputes. My commitment to continuous learning ensures that I stay at the forefront of the latest developments, enabling me to provide the best solutions to my clients and to those who appoint me as a mediator. My expertise extends to both clinical negligence and sports law as well as broader commercial and personal disputes.

Integrity

Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and I am dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in my work. Integrity guides my decisions and actions, ensuring transparency, honesty, and fairness at every stage of the process. Whether advising a client or negotiating a resolution, I prioritize ethical practices and the interests of all parties involved.

Collaborative Approach to Dispute Resolution

I believe in separating people from the problem, focusing on resolving disputes in a manner that is both efficient and constructive. By fostering collaboration, I work to de-escalate conflicts and promote solutions that satisfy all parties. My approach encourages open communication, mutual respect, and a focus on shared interests. This philosophy not only minimizes the emotional strain of disputes but also leads to more sustainable outcomes.

Discretion & Confidentiality

I recognize the sensitive nature of disputes and legal matters. My approach is grounded in the utmost discretion, ensuring that private matters remain private. Confidentiality is non-negotiable; I am committed to safeguarding the personal and professional information of my clients and the parties to any mediation I am involved with. You can trust me to handle these matters with respect, sensitivity, and confidentiality at all times.
