He has been admitted pro hac vice for cases in the Bahamas, in the Cayman Islands and in the Isle of Man. He has been involved in substantial advisory and litigious matters (both assisting local lawyers in court and appearing himself before arbitral tribunals) in India, Hong Kong, Singapore and other common-law jurisdictions. Richard has also been involved in proceedings at the DIFC.

Richard sits as a Deputy High Court Judge in the QBD and the Commercial Court and as a Recorder. He also sits as an Arbitrator in ICC, LCIA and other types of arbitrations.
