Guto LlewelynCapital Law Limited

Combining ‘a fierce commercialism and excellent legal skills with a warm, personable and collaborative working style’, Capital Law Limited is a popular choice among clients defending and bringing claims relating to a wide variety of commercial litigation, both in conventional litigation, as well as in an arbitration process. A significant number of these actions are brought under the umbrella of the firm’s own litigation fund, Capital Finance, which has proved to be a vital resource to parties who would otherwise have perhaps lacked the financial means to bring a case. Andrew Brown is noted as an expert on third party funding and as well as setting up the firm’s own fund, is also regularly engaged by other law firms to provide guidance on litigation funding and alternative fee arrangements for their clients. As mindful of risk management and litigation avoidance, as he is at effectively representing the interests of clients in the teeth of litigation, ‘very well organised and responsive’ team head Stephen Meade  is a popular choice among both private and public sector clients across a range of litigation, including contentious property matters. Philip Jones  is vastly experienced at handling a myriad corporate disputes, including those within an insolvency setting, and is also a key member of the team alongside up-and-coming partners Guto Llewelyn , who is noted for his debt recovery excellence, and the ‘fiercely commercial’ Lucy Emanuel , who excels in financial services disputes.
