Gatehouse Chambers

Alice’s practice encompasses Chambers’ key areas of commercial litigation, centring on civil fraud, banking, insurance, and dispute resolution. She has specialist insight into technical financial matters, having had a previous career as a Chartered Accountant for Ernst & Young, and recently concluded work on a highly complex year-long civil fraud trial in the Commercial Court (Skatteforvaltningen (Danish Customs and Tax Authority) v Solo Capital Partners LLP & Ors led by Nigel Jones KC).

On top of led work in high profile cases, Alice has a thriving solo practice, regularly appearing as sole counsel in High Court and County Court proceedings.

Key cases:

• Junior counsel for the main Defendants in Skatteforvaltningen (Danish Customs and Tax Authority) v Solo Capital Partners LLP & Ors, led by Nigel Jones KC, Sarah McCann, Lisa Freeman (of Furnival Chambers) and Emily Betts. The case involves claims for £1.4bn in deceit, conspiracy, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, dishonest assistance, and knowing receipt arising out of complex share trading. The case was listed as one of The Lawyer’s Top 20 cases for 2024. It was the most complex case which has been case managed in the Commercial Court. Mr Justice Baker previously remarked that this case was “litigation on a massive scale”.
