William was the lead partner acting for the official liquidators of a Cayman SPV in relation to the US$9.2bn Saad litigation.

William led the firm’s London and Cayman teams working on the case, providing time sensitive advice to the London based office holder.

He is a really good person to run a firm in terms of giving them a profile and making introductions. If he meet someone and thinks that they should meet someone else, he engineers that.
William is a very well-known and charismatic partner.
I find him to be incredibly talented lawyer: he distils complex data sets down to their bare essence with ease. He is legally and technically astute and he is my go-to for work in the Caribbean.
