Our team has handled some of the highest profile banking and insurance sector cases, including the Madoff scandal.
We do not have a transactional finance practice that could create conflicts of interest, and can therefore act freely for and against banks and insurance companies.
Our past mandates involve:
- Representing an insurance company in an ICC arbitration against the Republic of Cyprus concerning the impact of the Cyprus financial crisis on an insurance joint venture.
- Representing a Forbes-listed high net worth individual in a multibillion, multi-jurisdictional ICC arbitration running for over a decade.

- Representing a globally leading mid-cap technology investment bank in two disputes over success fees, securing extremely favourable settlements.
