Overview
TIM HELPS CLIENTS ANTICIPATE AND SWIFTLY ADDRESS THE UNEXPECTED WHEN FACED WITH COMPLEX COMMERCIAL DISPUTES.
For over 40 years Tim has advised clients on all types of large-scale commercial disputes and is the first port of call for key clients facing significant litigation. He helps clients navigate complex crises, nationally and globally. He has been repeatedly recommended in Legal 500 for both Commercial Litigation and Civil Fraud, by Super Lawyers London as a Super Lawyer and by The Best Lawyers in the UK for litigation.
Tim has extensive and wide-ranging experience litigating in offshore jurisdictions, and many of his cases involve complex cross-border issues and proceedings in multiple jurisdictions. In addition to the UK, Tim’s recent cases have involved litigation in the US, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Switzerland, Russia, Hong Kong, Singapore and China.
Tim also advises extensively on risk management and on tactical issues arising in the context of international litigation, as well as identifying strategies for the mitigation and defence of possible claims. This involves advising clients on issues arising under the UK Bribery Act, the conduct of internal investigations across a range of industries and the representation of clients in relation to investigations by the DOJ, the SFO and other governmental agencies.
