Notable practitioners
Laurence Page is easy to deal with. On our case he drafted the pleadings, did the advocacy and was charming with the tribunal.
Laurence Page's practice is largely focused on the Middle East. He is very good on his feet, and although he is not a silk yet, I would not hesitate to instruct him for advocacy.
Rachel Ansell KC is a London-based barrister with considerable Middle East disputes experience. She is especially active in construction arbitration cases arising out of large-scale energy and infrastructure projects.
Rachel is the most user-friendly barrister. She is technically excellent and a very good advocate.
Sean Brannigan KC is a well-established barrister who is regularly noted for his construction arbitration work in the Middle East. Based in London, he is a highly sought-after advocate whose recent practice has seen him take on matters relating to the construction of hotels as well as power plants.
Sean is my first choice when appointing senior counsel on disputes of real importance.
Sean Brannigan is my go-to silk. He is first class and in a league of his own. He is user-friendly, commercial and a seamless member of the team.
