‘Dominant in the insurance litigation sector’ and with a broad offering on commercial disputes in a range of sectors, 7 King's Bench Walk covers commercial litigation of all types with strong suits in the aforementioned area as well as matters involving insured assets such as aircraft and ships. A number of members of the set acted for aviation hull all risks insurers in the Russia Aviation litigation, the largest Commercial Court case in 2025, with Jonathan Gaisman KC and the ’very clear, persuasive, good with clients, and strategic’ Jason Robinson KC particularly prominent in this instruction. Conversely, ‘true heavyweight of the commercial Bar’ David Allen KC led a team from chambers for the lessors in their operator policy claims. Demonstrating the breadth of the practice, David Edwards KC led Benjamin Parker in White Oak Commercial Finance Europe (Non-Levered) Limited v Marsh Limited, a high-value claim featuring allegations of fraud brought following the collapse of Greensill Bank.
