Dispute Resolution Lawyer, Chartered Arbitrator and Mediator

United Kingdom

I am a counsel, arbitrator and mediator, specialising in international commercial dispute resolution (litigation, arbitration and mediation). I advise companies and individuals on their commercial disputes.

I’ve worked on disputes in many different countries, across Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Currently based in London as a Commercial Disputes Partner and Co-Head of International Arbitration at Fox Williams LLP, I was based in Singapore as a partner (and Head of International Arbitration in Asia) at an international firm from 2009 to 2016. In Who’s Who Legal I’m identified as a Thought Leader and a Global Leader, and in Legal 500 I’m a Leading Individual. I’m also recommended for international arbitration in Chambers and Expert Guides.

I’ve also worked on cases at all levels of the English court system and have advised clients on strategy in litigation in other countries.

It is not healthy for lawyers to categorise themselves as arbitration lawyers or litigation lawyers or mediation lawyers. They need to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of each method and think about how they can improve their practices and their services for their clients.
