Partner, Gowling, Dispute Resolution Specialist

Gowling WLG is a law firm which offers legal advisory services in estate and trusts, intellectual property, insurance and professional liability, real estate, tax, and immigration.

I am a London based solicitor described as a “fraud and insolvency litigation expert” and “a key player in international fraud” by Who’s Who Legal and Legal 500. I specialise in technically complex insolvency, fraud and asset recovery disputes, often involving multiple jurisdictions. I am a partner at Stewarts and Head of the Insolvency and Asset Recovery team, leading a group of contentious insolvency and asset recovery specialists. The team acts for officeholders and other stakeholders including lenders, directors, shareholders and investors to resolve disputes, monetise claims and pursue the recovery of assets in an insolvency or distressed context or in cases of fraud. I am also qualified as a Certified Fraud Examiner, and sit on the UK board of the global anti-fraud body, The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Stewarts specialises in high-value and complex disputes, and is the UK’s leading litigation-only law firm. Clients choose us for our legal excellence, our specialist expertise and our pioneering approach to complex litigation. Our focus is always on success: achieving the best results for our clients around the world. The firm has unrivalled experience in putting together innovative costs arrangements. We deploy risk sharing fee agreements, third-party funding and after the event insurance to enable our clients to pursue claims and recover assets from a position of financial strength.
