What the Team is Known For
Wilberforce Chambers represents an excellent choice of set for company matters. Its barristers frequently represent clients faced with domestic and cross-border shareholder disputes, issues of directors' duties and breaches of fiduciary duty, among other matters. Its reputation for handling offshore work is particularly strong. Notable recent mandates include BHS Group & Ors v Chappell, Henningson and Chandle, which involves a liquidators' claim for breach of fiduciary duty. Members were also instructed in Richard Shield (and Ors) v Christopher Shield (and others) & Shakespeare Martineau, a matter concerning a shareholders’ agreement and claim of negligence. Both of these cases are in the High Court, Business and Property Courts. The set is regarded by commentators as having "excellent jurists and creative thinkers" who are "efficient and strategically astute."
Nicholas Luckman is the practice director.
