I have worked in commercial litigation since my qualification in 1995. I joined Tees in October 2011, where my areas of expertise are focused on Insolvency law and partnership and Company Disputes.
On the Insolvency side I act for both Insolvency Practitioners and Individuals or Directors who are faced with proceedings against them.
I have considerable experience with directors’ disqualification proceedings.
I understand that litigation is one of the most stressful things many people will ever be involved in. My aim is always to help people understand the complexities of the legal system by explaining things in plain English.
Often, a number of different tactics can be employed in any piece of litigation. I ensure you fully understand the options open to you and assist you in choosing the right option for you. I will work to achieve the best outcome tailored to your individual circumstances and take into account the amount of risk you are willing and able to run.
I cannot remove the stress inherent in litigation, but my aim is to minimise it as much as possible while providing you with exceptional service based on a clear and expert understanding of your legal issues.
