Dual-qualified as an English solicitor and New York attorney, I act as counsel in investment and commercial arbitrations across diverse sectors, including energy, life sciences, commodities, construction, and finance.

A significant focus of my work lies in investment arbitration, where I have acted in landmark cases arising from treaties, contracts, and domestic legislation—many of which have shaped jurisprudence in the field.I have also served as arbitrator and was nominated to the ICSID Panel of Conciliators.
