Commercial Dispute Resolution - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
A strong set with pronounced litigation experience across the commercial market that boasts widely recognised barristers capable of handling complex pieces of litigation. The lawyers here display particular acumen for cases involving banking and insurance. Recent examples include: CRF I Limited v Banco Nacional de Cuba & the Republic of Cuba, a high-profile claim brought by a commercial investor in historic Cuban debt, raising issues of state immunity; and Aon UK Limited, Aon Brasil Corretora De Resseguros Limitida and Aon plc v Howden Group Holdings Limited, a case involving the alleged "poaching" of Brazilian reinsurance units. The set also boasts a huge contingent of members offering advice on the Russian aircraft claims. One source comments: "They have tremendous depth and breadth of experience in all areas of insurance law, in particular." Another says that the set's barristers are "consistently brilliant across a broad spectrum of commercial matters." Greg Leyden is the senior clerk.
