UK Bar

Practice Areas

Philip is a leading junior who is regularly instructed in high-value, complex matters, particularly in relation to civil fraud, general commercial, financial services and insolvency disputes. The directories describe him as “without a doubt, one of the top juniors at the Bar”, “outstandingly clever, charming and responsive” and “a fearless advocate”.

Philip has been instructed in many of the most high-profile civil fraud disputes to come before the courts in recent times, including Tugushev v Orlov, Tatneft and Qatar v Banque Havilland. He is currently representing the claimant liquidators in a billion-dollar fraud claim arising from alleged misappropriation of gold bullion loans in India: Harrington & Charles Trading Company v Mehta.

Philip is a leading practitioner in financial services disputes. He represented the FCA in the Supreme Court in what is the leading authority on collective investment schemes (FCA v Asset Land) and he writes the chapter on collective investment schemes in Financial Services Law (Walker & Purves, eds).

Philip has substantial group litigation experience, particularly in fraud related claims. He acted for the claimants in Manning & Napier v Tesco plc, the highly publicised $300m shareholder claim arising from the supermarket’s profit overstatements in its financial reporting. He is currently acting for one of the claimant groups in the Glencore plc litigation, where claims under ss.90 and 90A of FSMA are brought in connection with alleged misstatements in and omissions from Glencore’s prospectuses and published information.
