Karl has been an Associate in the Commercial and Litigation Departments of a local law firm and has cultivated wide-ranging experience on different transactions, including corporate restructures, acquisitions and general civil and international funds litigation.
In addition to his legal training and insurance qualifications, Karl has also had four years industry experience as Managing Director of a leading Gibraltar-based Insurance Broker.
The rise in personal injury claims in the past decade has given Karl a unique outlook of the real issues for both claimants and defendant insurers. Karl has also garnered firsthand experience of the range of issues a local business may face and is thus well placed to provide thorough yet sensible advice.
Karl has recently set up his very own Gibraltar Employment Law Blog which provides the reader with a growing source of information about Gibraltar Employment Law.
Karl’s practice is currently focused on banking and primarily on defendant personal injury litigation.
