Why choose me

I’m an experienced dispute resolution lawyer who specialises in disputes involving innovation and technology.

My focus is on strategic dispute resolution and finding pragmatic solutions before a dispute turns into a costly problem or crisis, with particular emphasis on:

  • Advanced manufacturing, technology, innovation, outsourcing and logistics
  • Branding, trade marks and domain names
  • Creative, media and entertainment

I advise a wide range of clients on the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, including copyright, data and databases, trade secrets and knowhow, product designs, patents, branding and domain names. I also advise on technology, outsourcing and related disputes for suppliers and customers, including the resolution of ‘in life’ disputes, problematic implementation projects, termination issues, licensing audits, and cyber incidents and data breaches.

My work also includes advising on sports regulatory and disciplinary matters (advising both regulators and competitors), and competition law compliance, especially relating to price-fixing.

I have particular expertise in making or responding to applications for urgent court orders (injunctions).

My interests away from work include playing touch rugby, watching full contact rugby, and long walks in the countryside. I am also a charity trustee at my local Baptist church.
