Why choose me

I like to simplify the often complex issues of a corporate deal for my clients, who range from stock market listed plcs through mid-level companies to sole traders – I like the negotiation process of such deals as well as the completion. It’s a very interesting area of law, and one where being accessible, able to act with speed and efficiency is very important.

From a multi-million pound joint land development project, or the sale of a software company to a joint venture between mines and minerals operators, I have acted for clients across a wide range of sectors.

Outside work, my family, reading, national hunt racing and rugby are my passions.

Read what my clients say about me

I found myself in an incredibly difficult and stressful position. Despite being one of the co-founders, out of the blue I found myself on the receiving end of a fabricated allegation, being suspended and then removed from a business that I cared deeply and passionately about. Thanks to HCR, in particular Adam Finch and his Dispute Resolution team, Rachel Roberts and her Employment team plus Derek Callanan and his Corporate team, not only did I stop the shareholder action and employment process in its tracks but I wrested back control and have removed the errant directors. Without HCR’s support, I wouldn’t be sitting here today in charge of a fantastic business with amazing employees.

Alex and I appreciate everything you have all done to help us through this acquisition of Oxford Hardware. Your counsel has been invaluable, and we look forward to the growth of our relationship moving forward.”

US firm’s praise for wise corporate support

The whole process from start to finish was executed superbly and I always felt confident that I had the best team on our side to get this done. Thank you, it has been a pleasure working with you and I hope our paths will cross again.
