Professional background
Spencer practices exclusively in commercial litigation in a wide range of issues, overseeing and engaging with thousands of disputes in his career, with a particular niche in financial disputes, including fraud, investments, loans, loss of profits, negligence of accountants, and overcharging by solicitors.
Approach to litigation
Spencer’s approach to litigation is strategic, evidence-driven, and relentlessly focused on outcomes that make commercial sense. He quickly identifies the key issues in a dispute, assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each party’s position, and then designs a clear litigation roadmap aimed at either early resolution or a decisive result at trial.
Clients value Spencer’s direct communication style and his willingness to provide firm recommendations rather than equivocal advice. He works closely with clients to understand their broader business and personal objectives, ensuring that each step in the litigation process is proportionate to the risks, costs, and potential benefits involved.
