Practice Areas

Christopher Langley has a broad commercial practice which covers the full range of commercial, banking, finance (including cryptocurrencies), civil fraud, insurance, aviation, and professional negligence disputes. He has extensive experience of complex and high-value commercial disputes, both as sole counsel and working as part of a larger team.

Notable examples include the claims made by Stanford International Bank Ltd against HSBC in the fallout of a multi-billion dollar ‘Ponzi’ scheme orchestrated by Sir Allen Stanford, which was heard by the Supreme Court (one of The Lawyer’s Top 20 Cases of 2021 and Top 10 Appeals of 2022); the multi-billion-dollar aviation insurance dispute concerning aircraft stranded in Russia and/or Ukraine; and Manek and others v IIFL Wealth (UK) Ltd.

Many of Christopher’s cases involve civil fraud across a wide range of industry sectors. He has particular expertise in matters involving bribery and corruption, and wrote the ‘Bribery in Commercial Litigation and Arbitration’ chapter in Lissack and Horlick on Bribery and Corruption (3rd edition).
