Key Experience

- Acting on a Serious Fraud Office investigation into the collapse of a FTSE 100 construction company.
- Arbitration experience acting on a private commercial arbitration in the Dubai International Finance Centre in respect of a breach of shareholder's agreement for an app-based food delivery company, and on an LCIA construction arbitration involving a Ukrainian state agency.
