How to read these results

Published with permission

Every matter here is listed with the client’s written consent. Where they asked, names and details are anonymised.

Figures are gross

Amounts are what was recovered, awarded or saved, before fees and costs. Your fee plan shows what you’d pay.

Every case is different

These outcomes reflect their own facts, courts and opponents. I won’t promise you a result, only an honest view of your chances.
