Dispute Resolution: Commercial Chancery

An impressive set with noted expertise in commercial chancery matters. Instructing solicitors are quick to praise Radcliffe Chambers' insolvency offering, while its strong bench of barristers also offers considerable strength in high-stakes banking, civil fraud and securities matters. International disputes concerning commercial trusts are also a key area for the team. Recent matters handled include director disqualification proceedings arising out of the collapse of Carillion PLC in 2018, and a claim against the former receivers of Blackpool FC, alleging a loss of GBP26 million because assets were sold at an undervalue.

The Senior Clerk is John Clark.

"The clerks are very good and come back to you quickly. We get a great service from them."

"A good bunch of clerks who are helpful and responsive."

The set further operates a practice-area wide client feedback programme and provides an extensive webinar programme.
