How do you help clients?

There is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution to resolving a dispute and I take the time to work closely with clients to understand their position and any commercial considerations that may affect them so that my advice is tailored to their business needs.

I advise on alternate dispute resolution options which can offer a more cost effective or confidential resolution where appropriate.
