What the Team is Known For

Brick Court Chambers offers a broad range of international commercial expertise, with notable prowess in the fields of shareholder disputes and appraisal rights matters. Its barristers practise across the gamut of traditional offshore jurisdictions, most notably in the BVI and the Cayman Islands. Certain members offer additional expertise in offshore locales further afield, such as Mauritius and Hong Kong. The bench is frequently called to act in many high-profile commercial disputes. In the past year, members have appeared in Alpine Partners v Sumitomo Pharma, a merger appraisal action. An interviewee reports: "Brick Court Chambers is an excellent set with substantial involvement in a number of very substantial matters offshore."

Paul Dennison and Tony Burgess are the senior clerks.
