Jamie Goldsmith KC

Jamie’s practice covers the full range of domestic and international commercial litigation, including jurisdiction issues, freezing injunctions, civil fraud, banking, contractual disputes, joint ventures and fiduciary duties.

For the last few years, Jamie has been acting for the Danish tax authority in the SKAT litigation, in its £1.5 billion claim against a very large number of Defendants for deceit, conspiracy, dishonest assistance, knowing receipt, and restitution. This has involved successful outings in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court and a 1 year trial due to end in April 2025. Jamie has conducted extensive advocacy and cross-examination of factual and expert witnesses in the course of the proceedings, as well as in hearings and trials in earlier proceedings for other clients.

Jamie also has experience of litigating in offshore jurisdictions, (ie., Isle of Man, Anguilla, Supreme Court of the Eastern Caribbean) and Privy Council procedure. He has been admitted as a member of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands and the Isle of Man bar.
