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."
