“Clients trust me enough to make me their 3 am call when something urgent crops up or has gone terribly wrong.”

“Working for such an international practice has meant that I’ve acted in disputes involving a wide range of jurisdictions including Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, China, Russia, South Korea, Bangladesh, India, the UK and the US.

The retail and TMT sectors are evolving rapidly in an already fast-changing world but they touch everyone's lives on a daily basis. So my role is to cut through the clutter and any red herrings to advise clients on the most commercially sensible solutions.

By understanding that clients have other pressing priorities and stakeholders, I ensure that my advice is consistently concise, easily digestible and readily available whenever clients require it. They trust me enough to make me their 3 am call when something urgent crops up or has gone terribly wrong.”
