Michael is a highly sought after senior junior specialising in commercial litigation, property, civil fraud and professional liability. Known for his extensive trial experience, strategic focus and excellent cross-examination, clients have told Chambers and Partners: "Michael provides excellent client service. He is very bright, an excellent advocate and thoroughly enjoyable to work with."

Michael frequently appears in courts and tribunals at all levels in disputes concerning commercial litigation, property, company and partnership, banking and securities. He is currently acting in two cases in the Supreme Court and three cases in the Court of Appeal.

Michael has extensive asset recovery experience and is regularly instructed to seek urgent interim relief in freezing and proprietary injunctions, disclosure orders and associated applications to secure or locate assets. Recent work includes acting on behalf of banks to freeze the assets of several individuals who had hidden proceeds of sale of real estate assets in the case of failed or defective securities.

Much of Michael’s work across a range of practice areas involves allegations of fraud and dishonesty.

His extensive property experience encompasses all aspects of real estate, personal property and digital assets.

Michael also has a significant interest in artificial intelligence and how this affects the future of litigation and legal services. He frequently advises clients in large scale litigation where AI assisted e-disclosure is deployed to manage significant disclosure projects.
