Recently, we have acted on 19 disclosed-value matters worth more than $10.6bn in aggregate. These include a $4bn AHAB appeal arising from an alleged $9bn fraud, a $1.5bn Saudi restructuring involving more than 100 creditors, a c.$1bn Commercial Court fraud claim (one of its largest fraud cases ever), and a $670-850m LCIA arbitration. We are also handling several further nine-figure disputes.
This scale reflects a sustained track record, including significant appearances before the Supreme Court, Privy Council and Court of Appeal in matters such as Fontaine, Weavering, Staechelin, Kadie Kalma and AHAB.
