Given his specialised interest in the area he is regularly called upon to speak on regulatory, compliance, insurance and medico-legal matters concerning medical facility administration, insurance coverages, medical and clinical law developments.

Building on a solid foundation instilled in his early years of practice, he also navigated unchartered waters by accepting simple briefs in the area of construction law which paved the way for him to be appointed to advice two international state owed construction companies on matters relating to construction laws and practices.  

In his spare time he plays his part to contribute to the continued development of the legal practice for members of the Bar through continued professional development. This in his various positions on the committees he regularly sits on has to date organised or given a good deal of seminars and talks for lawyers, insurers, doctors, hospital management, lecturers and underwriters.
