How do you help clients?
I help my clients manage disputes when they arise, as well as help them try to avoid disputes in the first place. I enjoy getting to know my clients, gaining a deeper understanding of their businesses and a full appreciation of their motivations. I like to ensure that their issues are resolved to fulfil commercial objectives, within a wider context of regulatory and reputational risks.
I help my clients recover money or assets, seeking to minimise losses and maximise recoveries. I also help them manage risk and reduce any potential liability where claims are sought to be pursued against them. In all cases, I ensure that cost effective solutions are explored and matters are progressed as efficiently as possible, with the needs of my clients a priority throughout.
