Daniel is a senior associate in the litigation and arbitration team.

Daniel is an experienced litigation solicitor specialising in commercial disputes and arbitration. Daniel handles complex and multi-faceted legal cases which cover a range of different sectors and specialisms. He provides tailored and practical advice to clients depending on their specific commercial and legal requirements and tries to guide clients through the complexities and vagaries of the legal system. 

Daniel has a busy civil fraud practice dealing with high value and time sensitive cross border claims, often involving multiple parties and different international jurisdictions. He has particular experience dealing with financial and digital fraud claims. These civil fraud cases regularly involve urgent Court Orders and asset tracing tasks and Daniel is able to identify and coordinate with specialists across the world to assist with these cases. 

Daniel also handles a range of corporate shareholder and director disputes, insolvency and restructuring matters and general contractual disputes. He has a particular focus on protecting intellectual property and propriety technology rights as well as dealing with legal issues arising in the sports sector, for governing authorities, sports clubs and athletes.  

Daniel acts for both Claimants and Defendants and his clients are most often high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals but he also has a lot of experience advising closely held owner managed businesses and larger corporate organisations.  

Daniel’s experience extends to all of the senior courts in England & Wales as well as arbitration panels and specialist tribunals.  Daniel also liaises with international experts around the world for court and arbitration matters in those jurisdictions and he works with a range of third-party technology providers and litigation funders and insurers to help facilitate a comprehensive strategy and approach for any dispute.  

Daniel is a Judicial Officer for the Rugby Football Union’s independent judicial panel which determines disciplinary and regulatory issues within the sport of Rugby Union.
