The Legal 500 Asia Pacific (2019) describes Timothy as "a top practitioner ... [he] is a barrister by background and ‘an outstanding advocate’ who ‘is particularly suited to complex arbitration issues’ and ‘masters his brief thoroughly’...". The team is "extremely responsive", "impresses with its strategic thinking and guidance", and is "cost effective".

Market sources comment positively on his "measured advocacy style," adding: "He knows his cases and doesn't get flustered. He comes highly recommended for disputes in the offshore and onshore energy sectors."
