What the Team is Known For
The experienced commercial barristers at Serle Court are routinely instructed in high-profile fraud cases on both a domestic and international scale. Members offer significant expertise in claims involving allegations of bribery, as well as the tracing, freezing and recovery of assets across a wide range of jurisdictions. Several of the set's instructions involve offshore jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the BVI, while the team is also regularly instructed in disputes arising in Russia and the Middle East. Sources note that "Serle Court is highly capable of handling complex and sophisticated matters, with barristers who are known for providing clear, pragmatic advice and delivering persuasive advocacy in high-stakes disputes." Recent instructions for the set include acting for defendants in İşbilen v Turk and Others, regarding a multimillion dollar international fraud claim involving investment vehicles and companies in jurisdictions including BVI, Cayman, Dubai and the USA.
Nicholas Hockney and Daniel Wheeler are joint practice directors.
