Queen’s Counsel practising in all areas of commercial chancery work, particularly insolvency, asset tracing and corporate fraud as well as traditional trust and probate work. He has appeared in a substantial number of reported and high-profile cases both in the UK and overseas and worked on some of the biggest insolvencies and international fraud cases. A large proportion of his practice involves cross-border litigation in offshore jurisdictions. He is one of very few barristers who have had full and not merely ad hoc practising certificates in both the BVI and the Cayman Islands. Much of his work stems from collapses of complex investment structures and from high-value private client disputes. Hence he has acted for a variety of different parties in hedge fund and banking disputes and in contentious offshore trust cases. He is regularly called upon to give expert evidence on both UK and offshore law in the US on matters of company law and the liability of fiduciaries.
