Personal bio
I am a barrister practising out of 5 Pump Court in London. I was called to the bar in 2021, prior to this I was a superyacht captain with over 20 years’ experience gained on vessels all over the world. This included operational (at sea) but also considerable time spend in shipyards overseeing new builds and refit projects as project manager. Following my transfer to the Bar, I have been building a practice which combines my maritime and legal knowledge into a specialist practise focussing on commercial issues which arise at sea – from contractual disputes over the fit out of superyachts, to employment issues relating to crew and staff. I accepts instructions in a wide range of litigation and arbitration cases especially those that involve issues on or around yachts – My experience of the maritime industry, coupled with his legal expertise, mean that I am ideally placed to advise yacht owners, builders, captains and crew on any legal issues which arise. I advise and represent clients in court or arbitration proceedings.
