About Liam

Liam is a Senior Associate in the Dispute Resolution Team at Ashfords LLP having trained at the firm. He qualified as a Solicitor in 2013.

Liam also has significant experience in resolving shareholder disputes.

He has dealt with a broad range of contractual disputes from the terms of sale of a dog through to multi-million pound disputes arising out of business sales.
