Notable practitioners
Andrew Leach regularly represents clients, including national utility companies, in complex commercial disputes and regarding supply chain issues.
Andrew is a top litigator; very clever and strategically astute.
Ben Griffin has a strong reputation for his commercial litigation practice, which includes frequently acting for foreign nationals and high net worth individuals.
He is always very comprehensive in the advice he gives and suggests pragmatic commercial options.
I rate Ben Griffin very highly. He is excellent and a very good drafter. He does the intellectual heavy lifting on a case and is perfect at it.
