Career

Mungo joined Baker & Partners (BVI) Limited as a Partner in April 2023.

Mungo was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2003 and practiced from leading chancery commercial chambers in Lincoln’s Inn, London before moving offshore in 2012. Since then he has practiced for leading global offshore firms in the BVI and London. He currently splits his time between the BVI, the United States and Canada.

Mungo has considerable experience advising international clients on large-scale, cross-border commercial disputes and corporate insolvencies (including distressed funds) and restructurings.  His practice covers corporate shareholder disputes, derivative claims, breach of contract, economic torts, fraud and asset tracing (including interim remedies such as freezing injunctions, third party disclosure orders and receiverships), plans and schemes of arrangement, contentious trust disputes, as well as more general advisory services.

Mungo is familiar with a large number of foreign insolvency and restructuring regimes (including those of the US, UK, Canada, Cayman and Brazil), the UNCITRAL Model Law and the European Insolvency Regulations, and regularly advises stakeholders on BVI elements to international insolvencies and restructurings.  Mungo frequently appears as an advocate in the Commercial Court and Court of Appeal.
