“Extraordinarily intelligent [and] extremely responsive”, Adam Cloherty KC has a broad commercial chancery practice acting in and advising on commercial and private wealth disputes both at home and abroad. He is “a top-notch advocate”, “great on his feet and on paper”, who “impresses sources with his courtroom advocacy skills”. Adam’s cross-disciplinary approach across Chambers’ main fields of practice means his commercial nous is frequently brought to bear in the private wealth sphere, while his deep knowledge of equitable, trust and corporate principles is widely sought out in commercial matters.

Described as “outstanding” and “an absolute star” with “a wealth of experience”, Adam’s work on the commercial side includes civil fraud, financial services, aviation, corporate, insolvency and contract disputes, both in court and arbitration.

“Very clever and much sought after” and a “persuasive and formidable advocate” with a “thriving reputation in the market”, Adam’s work on the chancery side involves advising on, and disputes involving, complex and high value trust and corporate structures and estates.

Much of Adam’s work is international in nature – whether representing overseas clients in litigation in England or in arbitration, appearing in courts abroad or coordinating multi-jurisdictional matters. He is “recognised for his ability to deal with particularly complex issues in large cross-border disputes” and it is said that he “knows the offshore world inside out”.
