Professional Summary

35 years experience in International and UK Taxation, in addition to Arbitration including Contract Disputes and Investments Issues. For more than 35 years, I have represented clients throughout Europe and the United States building a wide network in the field of International Taxation and Civil Litigation.

Advised my clients on the merits of Arbitrating before ICSID and ICC. I have acted as a Tax Attorney, before the first Tier Tribunal, in a complex MITIC case; and have assisted clients in complex Civil and Corporate Litigation, with matters arising from the Insolvency Act 1986.
