Position

At home in court and in arbitration, David is instructed in high profile and heavyweight disputes, often at the intersection between commercial and employment law or involving the protection of confidential information and trade secrets, including large-scale multi-week litigation, substantive interim applications for injunctive relief and appeals (where David has acted at all levels, including on numerous occasions in the House of Lords and Supreme Court). David also appears in high-value whistleblowing and discrimination claims in the Employment Tribunal, frequently in a regulatory context and where important reputational issues arise. His practice has an international dimension, with cases often involving multiple jurisdictions, foreign law (where he works closely with foreign lawyers) and foundational jurisdictional questions, and he has appeared in numerous cases in the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts.
