Position
Richard has a broad commercial practice, with a particular focus on civil fraud, shipping and commodities, banking and finance, and private international law.
He was ranked in Shipping as a “Rising Star” by The Legal 500 UK Bar 2022 and a “leading junior” in The Legal 500 UK Bar 2023. Richard’s “strengths include excellent attention to detail and an ability to give a well informed and practical view”.
Richard has appeared in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court. He has considerable experience of being led in complex, high-value litigation across Chambers’ practice areas, but also regularly appears as sole counsel. Many of his cases have involved jurisdictional disputes as well as other interim applications, including freezing injunctions.
He has extensive experience of arbitral proceedings, particularly in civil fraud, shipping, commodities, banking and general commercial cases. His experience covers arbitral proceedings under a variety of rules, including ad hoc, institutional (ICC, LCIA and SIAC) and trade arbitrations (LMAA and Gafta). In addition, he has considerable experience of applications to court in respect of arbitral proceedings, appeals against arbitration awards, and jurisdiction challenges.
Richard has undertaken secondments to a major city firm, where he spent three months in the litigation department, and a Norwegian Defence Club, where he spent six weeks advising on claims arising under charterparties and bills of lading.
