Our Team

Jamie is a Band 1 ranked insolvency litigation partner at Enyo Law in London, leading the firm’s Insolvency and Restructuring Disputes practice. He specialises in contentious insolvency, restructuring disputes, directors’ duties claims, and complex commercial litigation involving fraud and asset recovery, acting for administrators, liquidators, creditors, directors, and distressed companies in the English courts and offshore. His expertise also includes company litigation and finance disputes.

Jamie has been recognised by the legal directories as an “exceptional tactician” and “quite simply one of the cleverest solicitors in this field”. He is a solicitor advocate, with higher rights of audience before the English courts, and has also appeared before the Courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre.

After graduating from the University of Cambridge, Jamie initially qualified as a barrister and undertook pupillage at two commercial chancery sets in Lincoln’s Inn. He later re-qualified as a solicitor and worked at two international law firms before joining Enyo in 2021.
