Darryl always approaches the litigation process with the client’s best interests and concerns in mind, whether it’s the beginning, middle or end of a case, “that might sound like a cliché but it remains a truism,” he says.

Darryl’s outstanding legal performance and leadership skills saw him elevated to Associate in 2005 and promoted to Partner in 2007.

Darryl says this success reflects the satisfaction he receives from this line of law “without question helping people regain dignity and get their lives back on track is the greatest privilege a lawyer can have. Ensuring justice for people who have been wronged is a great honour.” The other great honour is “leading a team of people equally passionate about obtaining justice for clients,” he said.
