I specialise in Dispute Resolution and act for both businesses and private individuals. My areas of expertise include disputes concerning land, employment, contracts (including building disputes) debt and wills.
I qualified as a solicitor in 1987 having obtained a LLB from Cardiff University. I worked as a solicitor in the northwest of England and after spells of working abroad as a solicitor and barrister in the Solomon Islands and St Helena, I joined Thomson Hayton Winkley in 1991.
I am acutely aware of the costs and stresses which arise from unresolved disputes and I take a practical, cost effective approach from the outset. I believe that in the vast majority of cases the clients best interests are served by a speedy settlement but I appreciate the need for determined advocacy in certain cases.
I am married with two grown up children which means that I now have the time to enjoy cycling, fell walking and good quality beer (although not generally at the same time).
