Company

At Wilberforce Chambers, Lexa Hilliard KC represented the defendants in Titanium Capital Investments Limited & Ors v Jonathan Hughes & Ors. The case involved a complex dispute between two former partners who had formed a partnership to sell Covid tests during the pandemic. After the partnership was dissolved, the two defendants brought claims against each other for breaches of fiduciary duty and an account of profits and unlawful means conspiracy. At the junior end of chambers, the 'technically excellent' Rachael Earle is 'incredibly persuasive on her feet, and very approachable' ; she is acting for the defendant in Peter Waddell and another v Bluebell Cars Holding and others, a high-profile unfair prejudice claim.
