I am presently practising overseas. This site is wholly unrelated to my employment.
I remain a door tenant at Trinity Chambers in Newcastle, England with a particular interest in professional negligence, financial services regulation and traditional chancery disputes over wills and property.
I qualified as a solicitor in 2010 at a national insurance practice and moved to what became a listed international firm. In 2018 I was Called to the Bar by Middle Temple to focus on where I am most effective – as an advocate and advisor.
My interests have been in litigation from the outset and I enjoy the technical challenges involved in litigation and resolving disputes. As such a lot of my law related posts relate to issues I encounter or hear of and am keen to explore.
As a born and bred geek I have been interested in the intersection of law and developing technology and may occasionally essay a comment on this.
When not wrestling with such legal concepts I can be found climbing up, falling off or looking in a perplexed fashion at a climbing wall; or falling off a boat into the sea.
