Gary has experience in advising clients on different aspects of litigation and dispute resolution, after working within large UK law firms. He was admitted to the roll of solicitors in England and Wales in 2017 following his training at an international law firm based in Birmingham. He has a substantial level of experience, gained over the last six years, in working in insurance based litigation. Over that time, he acted for several major UK based multi-national insurers. His work also focuses on trusts, insolvency, corporate litigation, employment and regulatory.
