He has experience of working as a junior on very heavy cases, having been instructed in two of the largest pieces of group litigation in recent years (The Ingenious Litigation and The NOx Emissions Group Litigation); equally he has significant experience as sole counsel conducting applications, interlocutory hearings, single and multi-day trials, and appeals. He is an experienced cross-examiner of both lay and expert witnesses. He is regularly instructed in the early stages of a claim, often pre-action, to assist in setting the overall strategy and preparing correspondence and pleadings.
