What the Team is Known For

St Philips Chambers is well equipped to advise on the full range of company issues. Held in high esteem by their local, national and international clients, barristers at St Philips continue to take on challenging unfair prejudice, misfeasance and breach of fiduciary duty claims, among other matters. A notable work highlight for the set is representing the claimant in Syspal Capital Ltd v Truman, which concerns the purchase of a minority shareholder's shares and which the Court of Appeal has granted permission to appeal. Members regularly act in disputes regarding share agreements and other cases concerning the ownership of companies. A source praises the set for offering "accessible counsel" and a "team with wide experience".

Joe Wilson is chief executive and director of clerking.
