Jamie has a broad advisory and litigation practice. Much of his work is in the fields of banking, financial services and civil fraud. He has extensive experience advising banks, investment firms, and the Financial Services Commission on regulatory matters, private law issues (including jurisdictional and applicable law disputes) and EC law. He is frequently instructed in contentious commercial cases, many of which involve interim applications before the Supreme Court of Gibraltar. He is also active in the fields of public and human rights law.
Jamie was previously an assistant professor at the National Judicial College of China and at Tsinghua University in Beijing. He also tutored in law on a part-time basis at Oxford University during his time as a graduate student. He has postgraduate degrees in international law from the University of Oxford and in international relations from the University of Cambridge, where he ranked first in his year.
Jamie is increasingly being asked to advise on regulatory issues surrounding the establishment of investment funds in Gibraltar. He is currently instructed in a number of high value shipping disputes, and has been acting in two substantial judicial review proceedings involving the interpretation of the Gibraltar Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.
He has an impressive grasp of the law and a great eye for detail, which he combines with an efficient, client-friendly approach. He is particularly good on issues with a European angle.
