"I sit as an arbitrator and serve as counsel in arbitrations decided under the major arbitral rules, heard in different jurisdictions and applying different substantive laws."

"I have spent my entire career in the international arbitration world.  As a young lawyer I served as a staff attorney to the Claims Resolution Tribunal for dormant accounts in Switzerland and later I drafted the arbitration rules for the appeals process of the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims.  I am the co-author of the principal textbook commentary on LCIA Arbitration, and I am honoured to have been recognised as a leading international arbitration lawyer by my colleagues and by the best known legal directories.

I sit as an arbitrator and serve as counsel in arbitrations decided under the major arbitral rules, many different laws in jurisdictions across the globe

Clients trust me with repeated instructions because they know that I am an excellent strategist who will work tirelessly for them, to secure the best possible outcome."
