Christopher Young acts on a range of litigation proceedings and is lead partner on much of the firm's Cayman work. He has especially notable experience advising on insolvency matters and also regularly advises on asset recovery, shareholder and contractual disputes.

The thing that impresses me the most with Christopher Young is that the outcome he delivers aligns with the analysis of the case.

Christopher Young is a very experienced litigator, knowledgeable in insolvency-related litigations, very calm under pressure and meticulous in his preparation.
