He has substantial experience in insurance and reinsurance, advising both insurers and insured on coverage. He acts regularly in landlord and tenant matters as well as other property disputes. Recent commercial dispute resolution has involved freezing and tracing orders, claims for breach of fiduciary duty and asset recovery as well as contractual disputes.
