My particular expertise lies in both litigation and arbitration and in the context of many arbitral jurisdictions including ICC, UNCITRAL, SIAC, LCIA, ICSID and the Iran-US Claims Tribunal.

I have also been involved in commercial valuation and external audit assignments.

Prior to my work as a forensic accountant, I worked at the Serious Fraud Office on a high profile prosecution.
