KV Krishnaprasad
Position
Krishna’s practice covers all areas of commercial dispute resolution. Among other matters, he is currently instructed on behalf of the Danish Customs and Tax Administration on a £1.5 billion fraud claim against nearly 80 Defendants. He is also acting as junior counsel to Dame Elizabeth Gloster in a regulatory investigation of the FCA.
Krishna has experience of working on several complex commercial disputes including the Lloyds/HBOS trial (assisting Sebastian Isaac), the Commercial Court trial in Minera Las Bambas SA v Glencore Queensland Ltd [2018] EWHC 1658 (Comm) (assisting Conall Patton QC) and a substantial LCIA Arbitration (assisting Steven Elliott QC).
From March to July 2019, Krishna worked as a Judicial Assistant at the Commercial Court where he assisted the judges with some of the leading cases decided during that period such as Arcelormittal v Essar Steel [2019] EWHC 724 (Comm) (Jacobs J), PJSC Tatneft v Bogolyubov [2019] EWHC 1400 (Comm) (Butcher J), Ministry Of Defence v International Military Services Ltd [2019] EWHC 1994 (Comm) (Phillips J) and Magdeev v Tsvetkov [2019] EWHC 1557 (Comm) (Picken J).
Before Krishna was called to the Bar, he researched and taught the law of restitution at Oxford. His work on the subject was recently cited with approval by Leggatt LJ (as he then was) in Equitas Insurance Ltd v Municipal Mutual Insurance Ltd [2019] EWCA Civ 718.
Krishna is qualified to practice in India and is able to advise on commercial disputes involving Indian law.
