⚒️ What do you do?
I’m a barrister (Queen’s Counsel) in London, working on all forms of international disputes (litigation, arbitration and international law), with a significant number of matters coming from the APAC region.

🏆 What is your proudest achievement?
My proudest professional achievement is gaining true breadth of experience in international work, covering all forms of international tribunals and courts (including acting for clients and government in the APAC region in relation to WTO, ICJ, and investment arbitration proceedings), all level of courts in the UK (including acting for Libya before the UK Supreme Court), and working on disputes across a large number of jurisdictions, including through the APAC region.

⌛ There are now 25 hours in a day! How do you spend your extra hour?
With family 👨‍👩‍👦, maybe a book 📔, or catching up on cricket from around the world🏏.

🚀 If you weren't a lawyer, what would you do?
I often say I would be a cricket groundsman – I think I would enjoy it!
