He has a strong grasp of technical issues arising from expert evidence and is adept at clarifying and strengthening his case whilst conferring with experts from a very broad range of disciplines. Both at trial and during joint settlement meetings, Nick adopts a calm but focused approach aimed at resolving claims on the most favourable terms possible.
