Overview
I am a Partner and Head of Legal for the Mourant Group. I am located in the Cayman Islands office and previously acted as a litigator for the firm.
I have worked on the firm’s most complex cases, including Primeo Fund’s breach of contract claims against HSBC. I also act in various liquidations and insolvency matters.
Prior to joining Mourant in 2015, I practised as a barrister with Outer Temple Chambers in London.
Work Highlights
Primeo Fund v HSBC – acted for the liquidators in their claims against the administrator and custodian for breach of duty in relation to investments lost in the Madoff Ponzi scheme, establishing binding authority on issues such as reflective loss, limitation and contributory negligence.
Porton – acted for the petitioner in its petition to restore companies on the basis that the voluntary liquidation process was impeached by fraud.
Upper Brook – acted for the Libyan Investment Authority’s subsidiaries in their successful opposition to an appeal brought by their former investment manager.
