I joined Hooper & Wollen in 1976. Initially experienced in a broad range of litigation, I became a partner in the firm in 1982 and Senior Partner in 2010.
I have been a member of the Law Society’s Specialist Children Panel since its inception and have been retained in many substantial child care cases on behalf of parents and children. I also continue to run a caseload including Employment Law and general Civil Litigation.
In October 2013 I retired from partnership with the firm, and am currently working as a consultant.
I’m a keen sportsman and particularly enjoy sailing, tennis and rugby, (now as a spectator). I am a member of the Royal Torbay Yacht Club.
