WORK HISTORY
Special Counsel @Lk
Act for corporate entities and HNWIs across a range of civil fraud and commercial disputes including claims founded on allegations of misrepresentation, conspiracy, bribery, dishonest assistance, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. As lead solicitor, currently representing four of forty-five defendants in a c. US$1 billion international fraud claim brought in the Commercial Court by the Kuwaiti State pension fund. The claim centres on alleged schemes to make and conceal corrupt payments, including alleged secret commissions paid to the fund\'s most senior officer over a period of two decades. The matter raises complex, multi-jurisdictional issues requiring consideration of Kuwaiti, Swiss, and English law. The proceedings were recognised among The Lawyer’s “Top 20 Cases” in 2020 and 2025 and remain one of the most substantial pieces of litigation ever brought before the Commercial Court, with the 12-month trial concluding in March 2026.
