Fraud: Civil - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
7 King's Bench Walk houses a strong team of senior and junior barristers experienced in the handling of complex and high-value civil fraud claims. The set is regarded as a strong choice for cross-jurisdictional matters, and is regularly instructed in cases arising in the energy and shipping sectors. Fraud claims involving difficult elements of insurance law are also a key strength for the team. Members are well versed in both obtaining and resisting freezing injunctions, and also routinely advise their clients on asset recovery. Sources note that "7KBW members are always supportive in achieving the best outcome for clients." The set has recently acted in VTB Bank v JSC Antipinsky Refinery and Sberbank of Russia, appearing for a Russian bank in claims alleging breach of contract, deceit and conspiracy.
Greg Leyden is the senior clerk.
