He is experienced in cases involving removal of children from the jurisdiction and all related matters.

He also regularly deals with ancillary relief cases for high net worth clients and is fully versed in the latest developments, providing seminars at Southampton Solent University.

He is the father of two teenage boys and consequently has a mature common sense approach to family matters. He is meticulous in his preparation and thorough in his approach to negotiations and litigation.

Interests

He is often to be found in his favourite habitat of a muddy field on a winter Saturday afternoon at the bottom of a ruck or scrum wondering about the meaning of life at the bar, and more importantly, where on earth the ball has gone as he plays rugby while the body holds out, and is currently skipper of one of the (more) senior sides at Trojans Rugby Club in Southampton.

He also plays the slightly more refined activity of tennis, and is a member of the Hampshire Tennis and Health club in Southampton.
