Fionn Pilbrow KC
Position
Fionn Pilbrow is a highly-regarded and well-established commercial silk, with an enviably broad commercial practice. He is above all a litigator and an advocate, applying that expertise across the broad spectrum of commercial work, in both litigation and arbitration.
He is listed across multiple categories of the legal directories, where he has been described, in recent years as: “superb”; “A charismatic performer, in and out of court”; “Now a real leader in terms of having the confidence, stamina and client manner to take on the biggest and most complex cases, he is quick, fluent and with an eye to what is likely to appeal to the Tribunal”; “razor-like and very straight-talking. He is extremely precise and an effective operator”; “Extremely bright and a good team player. Excellent on his feet, he’s a rising star of the Commercial Bar”; “a terrific advocate, an orator of the first class, and he is a pleasure to watch and learn from”; “razor-sharp, easy to get along with, and he fights hard but is wholly fair – a joy to see him in action. It has always been clear to me that Fionn commands the respect of the highest profile practitioners at the Bar – he’s a star.”
