Litigation and dispute resolution
A specialist in commodities litigation, Jack has developed significant expertise and an international reputation in large and complex commodities cases. His client base includes both UK and foreign clients, where the issues traverse several jurisdictions. His considerable success in this area has led to a number of overseas companies and institutions, financial services organisations and banks seeking his help in commodities issues.
In addition to mainstream litigation through the court system, Jack is highly experienced in alternative dispute resolution techniques (ADR) including arbitration and mediation. These techniques have proved particularly effective in disputes in specialist areas where overseas assets have to be retrieved.
He has also advised on the domestic law implications (including enforcement) of both UK and international arbitrations.
Jack is also the Firm's lead Partner in the field of Education. A regular commentator to the wider Education Law debate, who also sits on "The Times" (London) Law Panel, Jack has a significant reputation in this complex area.
