David is generally instructed in high profile and heavyweight
cases in the High Court, frequently involving conspiracy and economic torts, unlawful
competition, team moves, the protection of confidential information, post-termination restraints, wrongful termination / expulsion, carried interest and bonus disputes (where he has acted in most of the
landmark decisions such as Horkulak v Cantor Fitzgerald, Keen v Commerzbank and Anar v Dresdner Kleinwort), as well as claims arising in a regulatory context which raise important reputational issues, and whistleblowing and discrimination claims in the Employment Tribunal.
