Wise Counsel. Every Step of the Way -

See my Credentials

For over 25 years, I worked as a solicitor and/or Partner in various well known City Firms. My areas of expertise rest in dispute resolution, franchising and business contracts.  My clients included household names, national enterprises as well as start-ups and fast growing businesses.  About 30% of my work was for individuals or owner managed businesses faced with matters of critical importance. And, in all that time, I generally found or engineered practical solutions. And in 25 years, not have one single complaint or claim against for any of my work.

I now provide a highly cost effective service as an independent lawyer (not a solicitor - see my story) in the arena of unregulated legal services.  That comprises all legal work (generally dispute, franchising or business focused) apart from:

1.     Property work or transactions involving the transfer, sale or funding of property.

2.     Probate work or relating to the Administration of Estates.

3.     The conduct of Court Proceedings.

As a City Solicitor and PartnerI would charge my clients £350-500 plus VAT per hour. And now the same service, unbadged and unregulated by the SRA, is available at a fraction of the cost. So, let my loss be your gain.

Disputes.

The Feeling of Victory is glorious.

The Feeling of Victory is glorious.

I have worked as a disputes lawyer for over 25 years. And, for a number of those years my litigation skills were recognised by either Chambers or the Legal 500.

My experience is second to none; many thousands of cases managed and pursued to a successful outcome – A record of over 95% of successful applications and every case led by me successfully settled, won at trial or on Appeal. And, underpinning that success was my ability to be a strategic thinker employing tactics that won time after time after time.

So, if you have a budding dispute or find yourself facing a legal issue or simply need a second opinion.
