Position
Robert specialises in business and finance law, with a particular emphasis on insolvency/restructuring, banking law, company law and general commercial litigation.
The core of Robert’s practice is insolvency/restructuring work, particularly in relation to banks and other large corporates. Robert enjoys both the highly technical nature of this work, and the challenging factual disputes which often arise, involving allegations of fraud or breach of duty against company directors and professional service providers. He also accepts instructions in relation to high-value bankruptcies.
Robert has also appeared in a number of high-value commercial trials outside of the insolvency context. He finds that the technical skills he has gained from his bank insolvency practice, and the forensic experience from his insolvency fraud practice, are particularly valuable when advising and acting in general commercial disputes.
