What do you do for your clients ?
My practice is centred on commercial and residential property, wills, probate and estate administration, corporate and transactional work, and dispute resolution.
I am particularly experienced in advising owner-managed businesses and private clients, often where matters involve an international dimension. I am known for my practical, commercially focused approach and for managing matters personally from instruction through to completion, with many client relationships spanning decades.
Legal Specialties
I advise on a broad range of matters, with a focus on commercial and residential property, wills, probate and estate administration, commercial transactions and SME advisory, corporate structuring and share sales, and civil and commercial disputes. A significant part of my work involves international matters.
Over the course of my career, I have founded and led a long-established UK firm in Birkenhead and a Gibraltar practice. I have acted as a long-standing advisor to major UK LPG distributors and industry bodies, as well as to maritime professionals across major UK ports, and I have extensive experience supporting owner-managed businesses and private clients.
I now operate on a self-directed consultancy basis, providing senior-level input without the overhead and structure of a traditional firm, often working alongside other professionals where required. My approach is pragmatic and solution-focused, with particular strength in navigating complex or sensitive transactions where clear judgment and experience are critical.
