Testimonials
Daniel has significant ability in public law/High Court proceedings. I have no hesitation in recommending Daniel, who is not only very intelligent but personally engaging.
I instructed Daniel with less than 18 hours before the hearing was listed. The application was complex as it involved several competing parties and a client company in administration. With limited standing in the application, Daniel obtained an unexpected victory, demonstrating a clear grasp of the complex issues involved on extremely short notice. My client was over the moon at the result, and Daniel deserves all the credit for the success at court.
