Practice Areas

Paul is considered a leading junior at the top of his game and is the first port of call for most solicitors in his areas of expertise. Solicitors describe him as ‘the one to have on your side’. He works tirelessly to ensure that the professional and lay client’s interests are best served.

He is a noted litigator and tactician whose strong and wide-ranging commercial practice focuses on shareholder and partnership disputes, franchise disputes, claims relating to directors and employment-related litigation. He has a commensurate professional negligence practice, particularly in corporate/shareholder/employee-related claims.

His keen intellect and robust tactics have earned Paul a highly impressive list of clients. He has appeared in many leading Court of Appeal cases as sole counsel and in the Supreme Court (Dec 2024). Equally at home leading, being led or appearing alone, often against senior opposition, Paul handles multi-million pound litigation for multinationals, public organisations and individuals.

Paul is praised by judges and opponents for his advocacy. “A noted advocate, fierce when he needs to be and clients like him as well”, he “impresses with his forthright advice and clarity of expression” and is recommended in the legal directories “for his preparation, client care and advocacy”. He is user-friendly and known for his expertise with figures, making him suited for complex financial claims.

He is a leading junior for commercial dispute resolution and employment work in Chambers UK and The Legal 500.

Paul is a Judge (Deputy District Judge) sitting in London and across the South-East.
