About me

Introduction I read Law at the University of Liverpool before studying at the Inns of Court School of Law. I was called to the Bar in 1995. My legal career started in the Litigation and Planning Department of Westminster City Council. In 1997 I joined Legal Costs Negotiators Ltd and was subsequently promoted to Technical Manager, with responsibility for the specialist costs advocacy team. I am one of the forming partners of GWS. I regularly have articles printed in the legal and insurance press and I am a frequent speaker on costs at industry and training conferences. I am co-author of Claims Handling Law and Practice - A Practitioner's Guide. I was heavily involved in the initial challenges to the Claims Direct and Accident Group schemes. I specialise in CFA, ATE and retainer issues.
