Barrister

Michael practised for twelve years at 3PB (3 Paper Buildings) from their Bournemouth office – from 2003 up until he became an MP in 2015. 

Before becoming an MP, Michael was on the Attorney General’s Regional Panel and undertook civil work, both advocacy and advisory, for all Government departments.

Michael's practice continues to encompass a broad range of civil work, acting for both claimants and defendants, notably commercial and contract law, property and chancery cases and public law and regulatory. He also practises as a qualified mediator for any civil dispute cases. 

Michael has appeared in courts up to and including the Court of Appeal, helping individuals, businesses, charities and Local Authorities. 

Michael undertakes cases nationwide and is frequently instructed in disputes right across the country. Given his background in Government, he has an interest in statutory interpretation and much of his work has an international flavour.
