Ben is an experienced practitioner with a track record of acting for both claimants and defendants in challenges to the policies, practices and decision-making of public authorities.
Ben’s cases concern disputes arising from education, disability rights, public sector contract delivery, equality duties, asylum support, unlawful detention, trafficking, human rights and immigration. He has acted unled up to the Court of Appeal level and frequently collaborates with leaders on cases with lasting implications.
His breadth of knowledge across different jurisdictions allows him to deal with niche legal points that may arise such as privacy, privilege, data protection, disclosure, costs and other aspects of civil procedure.
He is known for his impressive advocacy and drafting skills. He understands that solicitors often require realism, whether about the merits of a case or counsel’s capacity levels. He is down-to-earth, responsive and easy to work with.
Ben also assists commercial clients with advice and representation in employment law and international business disputes. He is equally fluent with multi-week trials in discrimination and whistle-blowing cases as he is with appellate level advocacy.
Ben is undaunted by senior opponents. He is a key player on counsel teams alongside senior colleagues and supports his leaders on the big picture issues and the details.
He is a popular choice in complex, sensitive dispute resolution for individuals, employers, commercial start-ups, trade unions, regulated professionals and public authorities.
