Summary

Barnaby has a broad commercial chancery practice, with an emphasis on business disputes, insolvency, property and professional negligence. He also has considerable experience in costs disputes. Barnaby prides himself on delivering exceptional service, whether through advice, drafting or advocacy. He is efficient and able to work to tight deadlines. Both his solicitor and lay client appreciate his personal and pragmatic approach. Having worked for a national firm of solicitors for four years dealing with commercial, property, personal injury and costs disputes before coming to the Bar, Barnaby is experienced beyond his 2011 call. In addition, Barnaby fully understands the pressures of a solicitor’s practice and is always on hand for informal advice when the need arises. He strives to be approachable, sensitive and accessible to both professional and lay clients, working closely with solicitors and litigants in person from the beginning to the end of a case.
