My cases often involve allegations of fraud and require me to either seek or oppose the grant of urgent injunctions. As an example, I have successfully defended former company directors in an action brought by liquidators alleging fraud and breach of statutory and fiduciary duties, which included setting aside a High Court order freezing their assets. These cases also often involve actions taken in or involving a number of different countries and therefore often result in complex jurisdictional challenges.
Reflecting my interest in and extensive experience of fraud cases, I have spoken on the subject, including to over 120 delegates of STEP in Guernsey.
I am also qualified to act as a supervising solicitor where searches take place under court order.
I have also developed an expertise in utility disputes on behalf of corporate clients which have seen their energy prices rise substantially over recent years, and also disputes in relation to renewables.
When not at work, I spend far too much time fly-fishing.
