Fraud: Civil - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Twenty Essex and its members are routinely instructed in both domestic and international fraud matters arising across the banking, energy and commodities sectors. The set's members are experienced in the handling of sophisticated disputes involving allegations of bribery, conspiracy and dishonesty, and appear for their clients both in complex litigation and in arbitral proceedings. An area of particular strength for the team is cyberfraud claims, including those concerning issues surrounding cryptocurrency and other technologies. Sources note that "their counsel are fiercely intelligent yet approachable and are not afraid to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in". Recent instructions for the set include acting for the claimant in Halimeda International Ltd v Maple Ridge Ltd, in an LCIA international arbitral claim.
Arron Zitver, Christopher Theobald and Anthony Carroll are the set's practice directors.
