Company and partnership disputes form the backbone of Maitland Chambers' practice; members are routinely instructed in prominent domestic and international company law matters. Catherine Addy KC is very highly regarded for her expertise in advising on complex directors' disqualification proceedings, and David Mumford KC is representing the provisional liquidator of a Bahraini company in ongoing proceedings concerning the recovery of fraudulently misappropriated shares in a listed Palestinian company. Turning to the junior end of chambers, Oliver Phillips, unled, is acting for three company directors in litigation arising from a breach of directors' duty claim. The claim was brought by the liquidator of a Guernsey company under Guernsey law following investments in a collapsed German property scheme.
