Trevor acted for us in a complex dispute, which involved an arbitration in Singapore and recognition of the arbitrary award in Australia. His advice and input enabled us to achieve a very favorable result. If you need a sensible and tough lawyer for commercial litigation, then you should try Trevor

Trevor has provided me with commercial legal advice on several occasions both in Australia and the UK (where I first met him).
Trevor quickly understood the commercial dynamics of the issues and responded quickly – critical where a matter is time sensitive.
I found on every occasion Trevor gave clear and honest advice.
The high quality of his advice demonstrated his calibre and experience as a high end lawyer both in Australia and the UK.
A great person to deal with – I would recommend him.

It's always a pleasure working with Trevor and the team at Blackwattle. most recently (June 20') they helped me achieve an excellent result in a corporate insolvency matter. Nothing is ever too hard and I'm always responded to promptly, courteously & with solutions to my problem. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

We sought advice from Trevor on a commercial dispute. He was responsive, got to the bottom of the issue quickly and provided useful commercial advice - not just a legal answer. I would recommend Trevor, especially if you are looking for a speedy solution
