practice area
I help resolve disputes, in court if necessary, but always commercially and pragmatically.
core skills
I am a skilled court practitioner, and my work includes drafting documents for court actions; appearing in court; negotiating resolution of disputes; giving commercial advice; and assisting with ‘big picture’ considerations. I mostly act in cases involving debt collection, commercial property, construction disputes and intellectual property & franchising.
career highlights
Having strips torn off me by a judge in a Glasgow court while still training - vicious - still, taught me a thing or two about life! Since then, I consider any successful outcome which has resulted in a happy client to be a highlight.
credentials
Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb).
Member of the Property Litigation Association.
Notary Public.
Former Council Member of the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow.
there’s more to me:
A keen golfer, I regularly trudge the fairways searching vainly for improvement. I haven’t yet found it in the bunkers, so am now trying to find it in the bushes. When not losing golf balls, I try to increase fitness levels with a bit of squash - funnily enough, though, I tend to miss that ball too!
