Dispute Resolution

Biography

I have specialised in Commercial/Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution since 1995. I have extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with:

  • contentious probate and trust disputes
  • contesting a will
  • business litigation (partnerships, limited companies and other corporate structures)
  • complex contractual disputes

as well as all dispute resolution processes, including mediation.

Contentious probate

A key specialism of mine is representing claimants and estates regarding grounds for contesting a Will and claims made pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975.

Legal 500 ranks me as a Tier 1 Leading Individual for Contentious Probate work and a Leading Individual for Dispute Resolution work.
