David is top-ranked, specifically for his work with Senior Executives, in the Legal 500 2025 (the leading independent guide to the best lawyers in the UK).
He acts for CEOs, MDs, VPs, HRD/Heads of People, FCOs, GCs, Marketing Directors, Board Directors, Founders, C-suite and all other level of senior level executives.
David has expertise in working with senior executives in the Financial Services, Tech, Media, Food, Professional Services, Charity and many other sectors.
Many of his senior executives clients are on high value remuneration packages where LTIPs/share options/equity incentives/bonus/deferred elements have significant value and therefore form a major element of any settlement negotiation.
I’ve worked with David on three separate occasions during my career. I’m grateful and continue to be impressed by his balance of professional and human approach, timely and quality service. I would absolutely work with him again and have referred others to him.
