Head of the firm's Commercial Disputes
Department, Clive's profile includes advising clients
on a wide range of commercial matters. He acts not only
for UK companies but also for UK subsidiaries of multi-national
corporations on international trade disputes and for
foreign companies with interests in the EU. Clive is
ranked as a leading individual in the South East region
of Chambers UK.
Recent work has included advising on: a business critical
shareholders dispute; a dispute relating to sponsorship
of a high profile international works racing team, and
a foreign based multi-national corporation in respect
of multi-jurisdictional product liability issues and
an off shore construction dispute involving contractual
and site engineering issues. Also representing; a leading
US based automotive parts manufacturer in the successful
appeal of an adverse import duty review by HM Revenue
and Customs; a US based manufacturer in the contested
administration of a UK based customer and a South American
premier football club in a dispute relating to the transfer
of a leading international.
After spending the early part of his career with leading
City firm Barlow Lyde & Gilbert, specialising in
professional indemnity and insurance related litigation,
Clive became an in-house legal adviser for the Alliance
and Leicester Building Society in respect of contentious
matters. This experience has equipped him with the ability
to view complex commercial disputes from a variety of
perspectives.
Clive has a keen interest in motor-sport, being a full
RAC member and rarely missing Le Mans or the Goodwood
Revival racing meeting. Clive is modest about his handicap
on the golf course ("You'd better make out I'm
ok - I will be when I get my new clubs"). Clive
also indulges in occasional bouts of horseriding as
an antidote to his desire for speed behind the wheel.
Clive's enthusiasm for his work centres on getting to
know the client and the client's business in proper
depth.

Consistently recognised in the leading legal directories, Stuart is described as "commercial", "down to earth" and “a superb litigator.”
