What can I do for you

Ian is a senior associate within the insurance disputes team. He frequently defends claims brought against solicitors, barristers, brokers and accountants.

What do others say

Ian acted on a claim against a KC and, following its resolution, the KC commented "your skill and care has been second to none and I can only repeat my grateful thanks" and "The skill and professionalism you have shown throughout has been a model for any such case; I could not have been in better hands".

Ian acted on a complex seven figure claim that was resolved at mediation with the insurer client commenting afterwards "this truly is an excellent settlement and one of the most effective and efficient mediations I have been involved in" and "you were a step ahead of the claimants legal team"

Supporting your ambitions

Ian's work highlights include:

  • representing solicitors and barristers in lost litigation cases, particularly those arising from personal injury actions 
  • representing brokers in claims arising from alleged late notification of insurers
  • representing accountants in claims arising from alleged negligent tax advice
  • representing auditors in claims arising from an alleged failure to detect fraud

Whilst at his previous firm, Ian assisted with the successful appeal to the Supreme Court in the case of Perry v Raleys Solicitors, which was the first occasion the Supreme Court had considered the correct approach to issues of loss of chance.
