He has also represented clients in the Court of Appeal.

He is particularly experienced in the field of UK ex-employee confidential information/trade secret cases and actions against or involving liquidators and has brought a number of actions in the English High Court, as well as obtaining injunctions in this field against liquidators and administrators to prevent sale of client assets.
