David Whiting

I am a Partner in Lodders’ in Dispute Resolution Team. I advise clients upon all kinds of commercial disputes, with a particular specialism in contractual disputes, business disputes, and debt recovery. I also advise upon contentious insolvency and contentious probate matters. I adopt a practical and commercial approach to resolving disputes, considering alternative dispute resolution forums where appropriate. If court proceedings are necessary, I provide strategic advice to progress the matter to trial.
