Personal bio

Justin focuses on complex commercial disputes, typically with a significant cross-border element. He acts for business clients in both litigation and (domestic and international) arbitration, as well as accompanying and conducting out-of-court settlement negotiations.

As a dual-qualified English solicitor and German Rechtsanwalt, Justin is at ease navigating different legal environments and traditions to resolve disputes effectively. His fluency in French and Russian, combined with extensive experience in both private and public international law, allow him to react in a context-sensitive way to challenging environments and develop custom-tailored solutions to meet clients’ needs. Although most at home with post-M&A disputes, Justin is well-suited to any complex commercial matter with a significant international element. He also publishes widely on topics related to international and domestic arbitration, public international law and international legal practice, typically with a comparative perspective.
