Offshore (Bar) - UK
Individual Editorial
Richard Boulton KC of One Essex Court is a highly sought-after silk for his expertise in commercial litigation in the Cayman Islands. He is also well versed in undertaking work in Bermuda. Boulton commands a strong practice handling shareholders' dispute cases, particularly in regard to Section 238 merger matters.
Strengths
He's an excellent advocate and very good at remaining calm under pressure. I've never seen him get riled up by the opposition and instead cuts them down with a well-timed, charming but lethal comment.
Excellent in every sense of the word, he is super-smart, reliable and cooperative. His knowledge of Section 238 proceedings is unrivalled. The best cross-examiner of valuation experts at the Bar.
Richard was superb. He has a fantastic, unique skill set to bring. He's phenomenally bright and a joy to work with.
