Recommendations
“Maurice has a forensic mind, indefatigable work ethic, and leaves no stone unturned. He is one of the go-to juniors at the sports law Bar. He is one of the few barristers in the country who has real, on the ground knowledge of the sports sector having been a professional cricketer.”
Legal 500, 2025
“A very good junior with a good approach to details. He’s always on top of things and very tenacious in the way he pursues litigation.”… “He is extraordinary.”
Chambers & Partners, 2024
