Peer review:
A go-to KC for heavyweight litigation onshore and offshore, Edward fights his client's corner like no other. He has a great rapport with clients and is a pleasure to work with as sole counsel or as part of a team.

Exceptional silk at the top of his game. A true team player and extremely client friendly. Highly recommended for complex litigation.

Peer review:
I have instructed Edward for some time now - both as a junior and as a Silk - as have a number of my colleagues. Intellectually he leaves many more senior Counsel behind and expertly combines a Chancery and Commercial law practice. He quickly wins the trust of clients and is unfailingly charming, even under pressure. I cannot rate him more highly.

Peer review:
It is little surprise that Ed was named Chancery Junior of the Year. He is frighteningly good in every respect. It is extremely rare to find counsel with an encyclopaedic intellect and superb commercial acumen. He also just happens to be an absolute pleasure to work with.
