Why did you become a litigator? The intellectual exercise of piecing together what has happened, working out how that fits the legal framework and constructing a case accordingly, appealed to me. I also hugely enjoyed working with Calum Burnett, Andrew Denny, Mark Levy, Guy Henderson (now chief executive at Ascot), Sidney Myers (now at BCLP) and many others in my litigation seat as a trainee at A&O. Flying to Paris to take a note and being taken by a client to lunch at the Paris Polo Club in the Bois de Boulogne in brilliant sunshine didn’t hurt either.
