Jamie is an Associate Director in Osborne Clarke’s Commercial Disputes and Risk team. He advises clients on complex disputes and investigations, often with an international element.
Jamie acts for clients across a range of sectors, with a focus upon disputes concerning technology and in the defence sector.
He has experience advising clients at every stage of a dispute, from ''pre-action'' stage, through to high court litigation, applications for injunctive relief, mediated settlements and, where necessary, the successful resolution of disputes at trial.
In addition to handling complex commercial disputes, Jamie has significant experience assisting clients with investigations, including alleged improper accountancy, tax evasion and in an anti-bribery context.
Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world
I recognise that clients would prefer to be focusing upon their business rather than litigating claims. However, where litigation is unavoidable, I work closely with clients to ensure that their needs are met. I endeavour to provide pragmatic, commercial advice with a view to resolving the issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.
