With a focus on corporate and commercial disputes, he has acted for large institutional clients in a broad range of industry sectors, as well as many early-stage companies and individuals, with particular experience in areas such as technology and intellectual property. He has extensive experience in matters that relate to injunctions and Anton Piller orders, defamation and free speech, intellectual property and software disputes, crisis management, professional liability, shareholder disputes and fraud investigations.

Many of his cases have involved protecting businesses that have been targeted in a way that requires intense and swift action and often injunctions to safeguard clients' rights.
