Executive summary

I'm a member of the Leadership Team and a Partner in the Forensic Services department. I'm one of the most experienced accounting expert witnesses in the UK, with extensive international arbitration experience across London, Stockholm, Geneva, Paris, Zurich and Rotterdam under LCIA, ICC, SCC, ICSID and ad hoc rules. I've acted as expert witness in hundreds of legal actions and given oral evidence 53 times.

My main areas of expertise are natural resources, particularly oil and gas claims, state and operator disputes, takeover disputes, regulatory matters and valuing companies and damages. Notable work includes advising the United Nations Compensation Commission on compensation claims against Iraq, including the Kuwait oil sector's $23 billion claim. I've also investigated the affairs of the MG Rover Group on behalf of the Secretary of State.

I've recently completed sitting as an arbitrator in an SCC arbitration and am regularly appointed as independent expert in expert determinations. I'm the author of several books and am ranked across multiple Who's Who Legal guides.
