Business Law

Introduction:

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established business, commercial disputes can arise at any stage. I've represented clients in a myriad of fast track and commercial/chancery division cases, ensuring their interests are always at the forefront.

I represent in cases from fast track to multi track and am licenced to litigate with direct access clients.

I also assist clients with:

articles of association;
shareholder agreements;
joint venture agreements
corporate governance documents;
advice on director disputes
data theft and restrictive covenant cases;
contract drafting for usual and completely bespoke;
unfair prejudice claims;
derivative claims
breach of contract cases;
mergers and acquisitions gone wrong cases

Some cases I have been involved in:

Zavahir & anor v Shankleman & ors [2016] EWHC 2772 (Ch):

Successfully defeated an application to bring a derivative claim.

Data Theft Mediation (2018):

Navigated a data theft case to a successful conclusion through mediation.

Covenant Breaches:

Represented individuals and companies accused of breaching covenants, achieving favorable settlements without court intervention.

$20m Bank Loan Case (2020):

Represented an Indian bank against defaulting guarantors in a complex 10-day trial.

Director Misfeasance & Insolvency Claims:

The rise in attacks on directors by insolvency practitioners is a concerning trend. I've been at the forefront, defending directors against wide-ranging allegations, from wrongful trading to undervalued transactions. With a keen eye for detail and a robust defence strategy, I ensure directors' rights and reputations are safeguarded.

Specialized Sectors:

Art: The art sector is unique, blending creativity with commerce. I've represented numerous clients in this realm, from drafting sales agreements for artworks to advising on anti-money laundering regulations specific to the art market.

SMEs: Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of our economy. I offer a comprehensive range of services tailored for SMEs, from corporate governance to restructuring and from internal discipline to exit strategies.

Conclusion:

I believe in a holistic approach to commercial law. It's not just about navigating legal challenges; it's about understanding your business, your vision, and your goals. Together, we'll ensure that your commercial ventures are not only legally compliant but also strategically poised for success.
