  My particular interest is helping foreign clients deal with the English legal system. Chambers’ Global Directory 2015 ranks me as one of only 3 leading UK based lawyers for US Litigation work. My 30+ years of experience gives me the commercial nous to see ahead and circumvent problems for my clients. Given the nature of my specialism, it will not surprise you that my client list contains major governments, government agencies, banks, large corporates, and some highly influential individuals. One client described me as “an excellent litigator who never loses sight of the business goals of the client. He thinks 'outside the box'.” I am often instructed by major foreign law firms to assist their clients in connection with multi-national litigation.Representative work includes:• Obtaining evidence in a number of cases brought against banks in the United States for facilitating terrorism by maintaining accounts for terrorist organisations• Acting for an investment bank in relation to the Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy• Financial and securities litigation, including derivatives• Acting for a foreign government financial regulator in relation to breaches of that country's laws by wrongdoers in England• Cross-border credit-crunch related litigation.• International/political issues such as state immunityI have acted in over 50 reported cases and have wide experience of international and commercial litigation. I speak German, French and Italian.
