Litigation can place significant financial and personal pressure on clients. Dominic is always mindful of this. He provides clear advice on risk and exposure at an early stage and takes a commercial approach to strategy. Where appropriate, he explores alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation, arbitration and expert determination, with a view to achieving a sensible outcome without unnecessary cost or delay.
Clients value his measured and pragmatic style. He is firm when required, but focused on achieving outcomes that protect his clients’ position and long-term interests.
Dominic is fluent in French and is a published author of fantasy fiction.
