David is a Litigation and Dispute Resolution Solicitor based in our Cardiff office and specialising in a broad range of contentious civil and commercial matters.

Main areas of practice

David advises primarily on disputes and risk management issues for clients from both the private and public sector. David helps clients to achieve appropriate outcomes when faced with a dispute, whether from a breakdown of a relationship, breach of contract or otherwise including pre-action, threatened or impending litigation and active court proceedings.

David’s practice has focused on commercial contract, intellectual property and general commercial dispute resolution, though David also has burgeoning experience in public law matters and procurement challenges.

Clients

David’s clients range from individual sole traders to PLCs and large public bodies – which represents the fact that a dispute scenario can arise in many differing situations for clients of all sizes.
