Career

Barnaby has a broad commercial chancery practice, with an emphasis on business disputes, insolvency, property and professional negligence. He also has considerable experience in costs disputes. He was recently nominated for Pro Bono Junior of the Year and regularly undertakes direct access instructions.

Barnaby prides himself on delivering exceptional service, whether through advice, drafting or advocacy. He is efficient and able to work to tight deadlines. Both solicitors and the public appreciate his personal and pragmatic approach. Having worked for a national solicitors firm for 4 years dealing with commercial disputes, property, personal injury and costs before coming to the Bar, Barnaby has knowledge and experience beyond his 2011 call.

Barnaby fully understands the pressures of a solicitor’s modern business and litigation and uses this knowledge to assist him in providing specialist expertise to help parties resolve their legal difficulties. He is always on hand for informal advice when the need arises. He therefore strives to be approachable, sensitive and accessible to both professional and lay clients. Barnaby works closely with solicitors and litigants in person from the beginning to the end of a case.
