Overview
Aaron is a commercial and insolvency barrister based in 3PB's Birmingham office but also working across all 3PB locations.
After being called to the bar in 2015, Aaron worked as a paralegal at law firm Shoosmiths LLP, before subsequently being offered a training contract with the firm. He gained experience in a number of practice areas including real estate, commercial litigation, corporate and restructuring and insolvency. During his commercial litigation seat, Aaron was involved on a range of commercial disputes including phone hacking, employment disputes, contract claims and an international arbitration.
Aaron qualified as a solicitor in 2020 into a busy, Tier 1 insolvency team (Legal 500). Aaron brings with him extensive contentious restructuring and insolvency experience, including administration appointments and extensions, disclaimers of leasehold estates, security and retention of title claims and directors’ duties. As a solicitor, Aaron also assisted with and prepared many Court applications.
After gaining his Higher Rights of Audience (Civil Proceedings), Aaron joined the Birmingham office of international law firm DWF LLP as a solicitor-advocate and later as an employed barrister. As an advocate, Aaron has already appeared in over 300 hearings including a wide range of applications and fast track trials. Aaron is regularly instructed to appear in the High Court and County Court at all stages of proceedings, from pre-action advice, interlocutory hearings and through to trial.
Aaron is a passionate and determined barrister who understands, first-hand, the challenges and demands faced by solicitors, and who uses his own personal experience to prioritise providing excellent client care.
Outside of work, Aaron enjoys cycling and following his beloved West Bromwich Albion football team across the country, albeit seldom with success! Aaron is also a school governor where he chairs the health and safety committee.

Recommendations “I have been really impressed with Aaron from the outset. He picked the brief up very quickly and despite the quite last minute instructions from us he worked over the weekend and prepared a very good skeleton argument for when I logged on Monday morning. His communication has been excellent throughout and he has been really thoughtful and measured with the advice he has given.” Instructing Solicitor
“I have instructed Aaron in relation to 2 matters recently, and have just booked him in relation to a third. In both cases in which Aaron has acted, the service he has provided has been outstanding. He is personable yet professional and has always gone “the extra mile” to achieve the best outcome.” Instructing Solicitor
“Excellent. Superbly responsive and the quality of work was excellent.” Instructing Solicitor
