General Information
Background
Robert has recently joined Clerksroom from a City solicitors’ firm, where he worked as an employed barrister dealing with commercial and financial services litigation and contentious insolvency. Previously he was employed by the Jersey government in developing financial legislation and regulation.
Robert has an impressive intellect, having received a first-class degree from Cambridge. He combines this with a real interest in his clients as people, and was described by one client as “logical but kind”. His approach to litigation is tactically astute and always focussed on the client’s ultimate commercial goal.
Robert is accredited to accept instructions on a public access basis and is always happy to discuss informally how he might assist.
