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.
Jennifer was admitted to the roll of solicitors in England and Wales in 2016 having trained and qualified at a regional firm in South Wales. Jennifer has been involved in a broad range of corporate and commercial transactions on a regional and national level advising on acquisitions and disposals; commercial contracts; corporate governance matters and data protection, with particular reference to compliance with the new regulations.
