Wilberforce Chambers boasts ‘a very strong bench of experienced offshore barristers, both junior counsel and silks‘, who frequently represent clients in high-profile cases in the Bahamas, Bermuda, the BVI, the Cayman Islands, and the Channel Islands. For Thomas Lowe KC, offshore merger litigation is a key area of practice, while Clare Stanley KC is skilled in commercial Chancery matters surrounding issues of fraud, insolvency, and asset tracing. John Wardell KC is strong in disputes concerning joint ventures, company law, and breaches of fiduciary dates, and he is representing the defendant in a case regarding allegations of unlawful means conspiracy through a group restructuring attempt against a company with shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Raiffeisen International Bank v Scully Royalty). Business-related matters, including litigious mandates surrounding banking and financial services, are a notable strength of Terence Mowschenson KC. The set also has a strong bench of juniors, including Graeme Halkerston, who is a specialist in offshore mandates, especially those from the BVI and the Cayman Islands, as is Tara Taylor, another active member of chambers. Taylor is acting for one of the defendants in an application that is part of a larger piece of litigation involving allegations of misappropriated funds totalling $4.4bn against the former chairman of one of Kazakhstan’s largest banks, along with several other associates (JSC ‘BTA Bank’ v Ablyazov and others).
