Lexa Hilliard KC
‘An experienced and highly respected silk, her advice is robust and commercial, and her courtroom presence is commanding.’
Wilberforce Chambers's Lexa Hilliard KC represented the defendant in BHS Group Limited & Ors v Chappell, Henningson and Chandler, a liquidators’ claim against former directors of BHS for breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and wrongful trading. Terence Mowschenson KC acted for the respondents in O’Keefe and another v Caner and others, in which joint liquidators of Jersey companies brought claims alleging breach of directors’ duties and misfeasance. Thomas Grant KC handled very high-value s.238 proceedings in the Cayman Grand Court concerning the value of the minority shareholdings in Chinese social media company Weibo, while, turning to the set's juniors, Sri Carmichael recently acted as sole counsel defending a £50m fraud claim arising out of the liquidation of the Thomas Cook Group.
