Commercial Litigation & International Arbitration

When a commercial dispute crosses borders, the stakes and the complexity both increase significantly. I act for businesses and investors in multi-jurisdictional litigation, international arbitration proceedings, and enforcement actions involving overseas parties and UK assets. I also advise on the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitration awards in England and Wales.

My work spans disputes involving parties from China, Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia, and across Europe, and I regularly coordinate with overseas counsel to deliver joined-up cross-border strategy.

Expertise

• Multi-jurisdictional commercial disputes and High Court litigation
• International arbitration proceedings and enforcement of awards
• Enforcement of foreign judgments in England and Wales
• Cross-border asset tracing, including cryptocurrency holdings
• Debt recovery for international businesses
• Coordinating with overseas counsel and supervising foreign law firms in UK proceedings

Asset Recovery, Injunctions & Urgent Litigation

Speed and strategic precision matter enormously in asset recovery and freezing order proceedings. I have extensive experience acting in urgent High Court applications and POCA matters, including successfully defending clients against HMRC allegations and recovering significant assets under restraint.

• Freezing injunctions and urgent interim relief
• Cross-border asset preservation orders
• Insolvency-related disputes and recovery actions
• Defending forfeiture and confiscation proceedings

International Investment & Property Disputes

As part of a broader practice in UK commercial investment disputes, I advise international investors, landlords, leaseholders, and developers on contentious property matters in England and Wales. Property disputes are often intertwined with wider investment and corporate issues, particularly where overseas clients hold UK assets through complex structures.

Expertise

• Disputes involving UK commercial property and development projects
• Joint venture and acquisition disputes
• Commercial lease disputes and renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
• Leasehold enfranchisement, lease extensions, and right-to-manage proceedings
• Dilapidation claims and service charge disputes

Shareholder Disputes & Company Matters

Disputes between shareholders and directors can escalate quickly, particularly where there is no clear shareholders agreement or the relationship between the parties has broken down entirely. I act for majority and minority shareholders, directors, and investors in a wide range of company disputes, including those involving overseas holding structures or cross-border corporate arrangements.

Expertise

• Unfair prejudice petitions
• Director and shareholder disputes
• Minority shareholder rights
• Disputes involving corporate structures across multiple jurisdictions
• International investors with UK company interests
