Robin Howard

My particular areas of expertise include sales of goods and supplies of services; construction claims; franchising; insurance; individual insolvency; economic torts; restitutionary claims; directors’ liabilities; shareholders’ remedies; and corporate insolvency.

As a CEDR-accredited mediator, I will always look for pragmatic and cost-effective solutions. At the same time, when the need arises, I’m a tenacious and effective court room advocate.

Recent cases include a Commercial Court dispute concerning the destruction of stored oats; the ‘Thakrar litigation’, a five-year-long saga involving fraud, insolvency in almost all forms (bankruptcy, receiverships, administrations) and a multi-million pound property company; anti-competitive practices in the pharmaceutical industry; company fraud centred on horseracing; disputes within motor industry trade associations and franchise groups; complex franchising disputes in the recruitment industry, and claims against solicitors, accountants and surveyors.
