With ‘strength and depth in the civil fraud sphere’, 4 New Square Chambers has an excellent track record in handling complex, multi-jurisdictional commercial fraud cases. In one high-profile example, Daniel Saoul KC, Justin Fenwick KC and Mark Cullen acted for various parties in Magomedov and others v TPG Group and others, concerning a $14bn claim brought against multiple defendants alleged to have conspired with the Russian state to deprive the claimant – who is currently imprisoned in Russia – of assets located in that jurisdiction. In a separate matter, Graham Chapman KC and William Harman are representing over two hundred claimants in Various Investors v Standard Chartered Bank, concerning an FSMA s.90 and s.90A claim for approximately $1.5bn regarding alleged breaches by the bank of US sanctions applied to Iran. Carola Binney left the set in March 2026.
