He is recommended as a new silk by the current editions of Chambers UK, The Legal 500 and Citywealth Leaders List.  Chambers UK say he “owes his richly deserved elevation to the fact that he takes a "clear and decisive" approach when handling contentious trusts and estates cases” and, in relation to Court of Protection work, “it's not hard to see why [he] has taken silk." "Outstanding" in terms of both advice and advocacy, he is "clear on strategy and a very skilled negotiator." One of the best in the land for property and affairs cases, this “silky smooth” barrister also turns his hand to welfare matters.” Previous editions of Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500 described him as “a fantastic senior junior, very bright and a first class advocate”,"one of the set's rising stars", "a tough advocate and a clever lawyer", "an exceptionally good advocate", "a clear thinker", "insightful", "flexible", "approachable", "offers practical advice", "rated for disputes" and "a good man for the more complicated matters".
