What the Team is Known For
Erskine Chambers continues to justify its place as the foremost company set in London. Sources from across the market reach consensus when lauding it as the go-to set for the most sophisticated and prominent matters in this area of the law. Members of Erskine, both senior and junior, demonstrate market-leading capabilities in heavyweight contentious and non-contentious company matters, and receive routine instructions from the country's top solicitors. Barristers at Erskine possess a strong command of schemes of arrangement, M&A, partnership and shareholder disputes and general corporate advisory work, as part of an all-encompassing offering. Erskine's barristers have been active on highly significant matters across the past year, such as acting on the Nam Tai Property v West Ridge Investment case, and advising Jardine Matheson Group on an appraisal action before the Bermuda Court of Appeal. Another work highlight is representing Zedra in a case against THG that involved the Supreme Court, concerning the limitation in unfair prejudice claims under Section 994 of the Companies Act 2006. Interviewees report that the members here "are outstanding strategists and advocates, extremely client-friendly and not afraid to get into the trenches."
Michael Shillingford and Alex Calder are the joint senior clerks.
