Seohyung is a commercial litigator and arbitration practitioner.

Seohyung is a robust and dynamic advocate who thrives on the challenges of advocacy and cross examination. She is frequently instructed in her own right to conduct trials and arbitrations, with a recent instruction to appear without a silk in a three-week long arbitration in Dubai.

Seohyung’s commercial litigation/arbitration practice spans a broad range including banking and finance, professional negligence, civil fraud, oil and gas, IT, directors’ duties, shareholder disputes/joint ventures (including securities litigation), disciplinary and regulatory claims, and insurance. She is experienced in jurisdiction issues and in key interim applications, and regularly appears as an advocate before a range of courts and international tribunals. A key thread of her practice concerns dishonesty, and she has acted for both claimants and defendants in blockbuster matters of fraud, corruption, and bribery.

Seohyung is emerging as an expert junior in contempt of court and was part of the COMBAR’s committee responding to the Law Commission’s consultation on the topic.
