Position
Philip is recognised as a leading barrister in international commercial dispute resolution. He appears regularly in the English courts and in international arbitrations in England and overseas.
Philip has a strong practice in complex, high-value commercial disputes across a range of business sectors. His work has been particularly focused in recent years on civil fraud disputes, often requiring urgent injunction applications, energy disputes and disputes relating to the enforcement of foreign arbitration awards. Philip’s practice frequently involves state parties or state-owned entities, in both commercial and investment treaty disputes.
Philip is regularly instructed as an expert in foreign proceedings, particularly on issues of English arbitration law.
He accepts appointments as an arbitrator, with experience as an ICC and as an SCC arbitrator. He has also been admitted to the Bar of the East Caribbean Supreme Court, British Virgin Islands and to the Bars of The Cayman Islands and St Kitts and Nevis (on an ad hoc basis).
