Practice Areas

Banking & finance

Barristers and banks generally cross paths when something costly has gone wrong in relation to a transaction or product.

Chancery

Traditional chancery includes trusts, probate, real property and tax, while commercial chancery covers a range of finance and business disputes.

Commercial dispute resolution

The commercial Bar covers a range of areas, including banking, sale of goods and shipping, insolvency, civil fraud, and insurance/reinsurance.

Company law

Company law is relevant to almost everything a company does, from filing annual returns to proper procedure in relation to board decisions.

European Union and international

Employment barristers may appear before the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, international tribunals and domestic courts.

Insolvency/restructuring

Some of the biggest insolvencies have billions of pounds at stake, so there can be lucrative work for barristers.

Regulatory

Whether it’s EU-originated, domestic or an industry code of conduct, regulation affects all aspects of civil life and commercial activity.
