He was also a director of the charitable Joint Mediation Helpline Office.
Warren accepts instructions in respect of building and construction claims, civil and commercial disputes, land and property, competition law, professional negligence, international arbitration, judicial review, disciplinary proceedings, and departmental summons (building and industrial).
As interest, Warren is keen on the study of public international law and counter-terrorism law, and he welcomes briefs in these regards.
