Fraud: Civil - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Having gained a reputation for being a "pre-eminent insolvency set," members of South Square also attract praise for their civil fraud work and their "ability to handle complex multiparty litigation, of a high value, in a sophisticated, technical but also straightforward and calm manner." Members are regularly instructed on a full range of civil fraud claims involving fraudulent misrepresentation, asset recovery and breach of fiduciary duty. The set is also often involved in matters that have an offshore element, and members frequently appear before offshore courts. Recent instructions for the set include acting for Softbank in Credit Suisse v Softbank – Greensill, in relation to claims made by Credit Suisse arising out of the collapse of Greensill.
Dylan Playfoot is the senior clerk.
