Partner - Commercial Disputes
I am a partner in the Commercial Disputes team dealing with corporate litigation including:
Work examples:
I have successfully negotiated the exit of one of two shareholders in a 50/50 company. Other shareholder had disappeared, claiming to be sick, but was using company funds to pay for extravagant foreign trips.
Purchaser of business was delaying in agreeing completion accounts. We worked with the seller’s accountant to force through default Completion Accounts and secured payment of deferred consideration.
Other commercial work I undertake:
I have a breadth and depth of knowledge across different industries. I work as part of the client team to achieve desired outcome. I am tenacious. I ensure attention to detail.
Protect/Secure/understand. I use experience to gain a crucial advantage in litigation.
In the franchise disputes area, I help mainly franchisees resolve disputes with their franchisor. Often this is in connection with termination of the franchise arrangement, either because one party has broken the terms of the agreement, or the franchisee wants to leave and needs advice on how to achieve this with the best possible outcome. I have dealt with many different business types from hairdressers to fast food outlets to high-tech medical equipment businesses, but a familiarity with the unique key features of franchise agreements is what makes me a specialist in this field.
I also deal with contested probate claims arising out of disputes between beneficiaries.and executors/administrators. These include claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 for disappointed beneficiaries and maladministration of estates.
I am a member of the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association.
