David became a Director in our Commercial Litigation team in 2021 and undertakes a range of work for a variety of commercial and private clients.

David’s main areas of work relate, generally, to the recovery of debts; he is responsible for the firm’s Commercial Debt Recovery practice, which is aimed at assisting commercial clients in recovering outstanding liabilities from slow or non-payers, in addition to the pursuit of secured and unsecured business liabilities for banking and building society clients.

David also undertakes insolvency-related litigation for office holders and other interested parties e.g. advising regarding unpaid directors’ loans, beneficial interest claims and all other potential office holder claims pursuant to the provisions of the Insolvency Act. David is prepared to act on a conditional fee basis where appropriate.

In addition to the above, David also undertakes claimant professional negligence litigation – an area for which the firm’s Commercial Litigation team has an enviable reputation.

David is well-liked by his clients for his relaxed, approachable style and enjoys developing new and current client relationships.

Outside of work, David is a keen cricketer who regularly plays for the Swansea & District Law Society Cricket team and 2 other local teams in the summer months. In the winter, David fills his free time with a variety of sporting activities and, when pressed, some DIY.
