Our People

Specialising in commercial disputes, litigation, and arbitration, Isaac advises UK and international clients on high-value, fast-moving contentious matters, often involving urgent relief, complex fact patterns and significant reputational or commercial risk.

He has broad experience across High Court litigation and arbitration, including contractual and shareholder disputes, civil fraud and asset-tracing work, and proceedings involving injunctive relief and information orders. In the property sphere, Isaac acts in a wide range of real estate disputes (including development and investment assets), with particular strength in claims where technical, regulatory or valuation issues are central.

Isaac also advises on Building Safety Act-related risk and disputes, including strategy around building safety / remediation obligations, service charge and recovery issues, contribution and contractual allocation of liability, and disputes arising from cladding and broader building safety compliance concerns.

In addition, Isaac advises on partnership and LLP disputes, including partner exits/retirements, profit share and capital disputes, governance issues and restrictive covenant/confidentiality issues, as well as employment disputes and sensitive workplace matters. This includes grievance and disciplinary processes, contractual and statutory claims, and senior executive exits where litigation risk and reputational considerations require careful handling.

He also acts in probate and inheritance disputes, including claims involving disputed wills, estate administration issues and beneficiary disputes, often where family dynamics intersect with complex asset structures.

In addition to court proceedings, Isaac is experienced in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation, without prejudice negotiations and arbitration, focusing on pragmatic outcomes that protect commercial relationships where possible.
