Speakers
Nick is a commercial practitioner who acts in a wide range of business disputes, both in litigation and arbitration. He is recommended as a Silk across Chambers & Partners, Chambers Global, the Legal 500 and Who’s Who Legal in three practice areas: (1) Commercial Chancery Litigation; (2) Real Estate / Property Litigation; and (3) Professional Negligence. Before taking Silk, Nick was awarded ‘Real Estate’ junior barrister of the year in both The Legal 500 Awards and the Chambers UK Bar Awards 2019 (the first time a barrister has won both awards in the same year). He is the co-author of Warwick & Trompeter, Break Clauses, (3rd Edition, Hart Publishing, 2022) and was previously on the Attorney-General’s C and B Panels of Counsel.
Simon’s practice covers all areas of Commercial Chancery litigation and arbitration.
Simon is recommended in both the leading legal directories. Chambers & Partners (2023) notes that “Simon provides excellent advice which is to the point and succinct while also dealing with all of the necessary detail…[He] possesses an extremely sharp academic intellect yet also has outstanding commercial awareness.” and “…is a real team player who is great with strategy and advising on tactics.” The Legal 500 (2023) describes Simon as “Client friendly with good attention to detail” and having “…the ability to process large quantities of complex information with seeming ease. An old head on young shoulders, he is a barrister of choice by a long way.”
Simon regularly appears as an advocate in the High Court (Business & Property Courts) and in arbitration. He has particular expertise in disputes involving the consideration of valuation, accounting and other technical expert evidence.
