About Robert
Robert Jonathan Pitman
I am a freelance solicitor regulated by the SRA. I advise on commercial agreements and disputes governed by English law.
I work with businesses, individuals and other organisations, including those with overseas parties. You will deal directly with me, and we will agree the scope of work and terms of engagement before I give substantive advice.
Professional background
I was called to the Bar in 1973 and admitted as a solicitor in 1987. I am accredited with 360 Law and Expert Evidence. I am also a Freeman of the City of London.
I work in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and can also work with documents in French.
Commercial practice
My work includes commercial contracts, distribution and agency agreements, shipping and trade, marine insurance, international M&A, trade finance and commodity matters. Whatever the sector, I advise on English law only. An international element to a matter does not mean I can advise on another country's law.
In commercial disputes, I advise parties on negotiation, arbitration and mediation. I also accept appointments as a neutral mediator or arbitrator. I do not conduct litigation in the courts.
Articles and regulatory information
The article library contains commentary by Anthony De Winton, and each article shows its author and date. The articles are general information, not advice on your particular matter, and should not be relied on as advice.

Please send a short, non-confidential outline of your matter. I will check for conflicts and consider whether it is suitable and within my scope before confirming whether I can act. Please do not send confidential information or documents until I have done so.
