PASSION FOR MOTORSPORT
The passion for all things cars is not only professional but a big part of Richard’s life outside of work. He grew up around motorsport in all its forms. He owns a modern classic and competes on track in his race car. His daily commute is by motorbike. Through his longstanding involvement and interest in all things automotive, both inside and outside of the work environment, he understands the industry and the technical legal side but, just as importantly, the passions inherent in disputes when they arise. This all helps when it comes to determining how best to go about resolving them.
