What the Team is Known For
Blackstone Chambers' barristers are au fait with all manner of commercial cases, and are also particularly noted for their acumen in the fraud, financial services, sports law and competition worlds. They regularly get their teeth into the major cases of the day, such as: J.P. Morgan International Finance Ltd v Werealize.com Ltd, a substantial shareholder dispute; Illiquidx Ltd v Altana Wealth Ltd, a trial concerning alleged misuse of confidential information in relation to Venezuelan bonds; and Calor Gas v Walsall Gas Cylinders Ltd, claims brought for civil fraud in the liquefied petroleum gas industry. One source says that: "Blackstone barristers have excellent strategic minds and are able to provide creative solutions to novel legal issues." Another interviewee notes that: "Their advocates are wonderful – sensible and trustworthy."
Derek Sutton and Adam Sloane are the joint senior clerks.
