Who am I ?
I am a barrister with over 10 years experience specialising in civil and commercial law, now offering my services directly to the general public and business community.

What do I do ?
I provide advice and support to businesses and individuals, mainly in relation to contract or business disputes. I also provide advice to businesses to stop themselves getting into a dispute, such as advising on a contract or standard terms and conditions.

What is new about this service ?
Traditionally, barristers could only be instructed by the client first instructing a solicitor – who in turn instructed the barrister. Under new rules, some barristers are now allowed to accept instructions directly from the general public – allowing the client to more quickly access the specialist advice and assistance that they need.

What are the benefits of instructing me ?
Firstly, I’m cheaper: barristers enjoy lower overheads than solicitors and so are generally able to offer their services at a lower rate. I also offer to vet your case for free to see if it is the sort of case that I can help you with. Secondly, because I specialise in a narrower field of law than most solicitors I offer a more specialist service than many solicitors. I also appear in court on a regular basis and so am “closer to the coal face” than most.
