Maintaining its reputation as ‘a leading set of chambers in the civil fraud market with a number of excellent practitioners’, Blackstone Chambers handles significant fraud cases on both domestic and international levels, with members often appearing before the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. Tom Weisselberg KC, Andrew Hunter KC, Andrew Trotter, and Gayatri Sarathy are acting for various defendants in Public Institution for Social Security Fund v Al Rajaan, an $850m claim brought by the Kuwaiti public pension fund alleging corruption by its former director-general. In another high-profile matter, multiple members of the team appeared in the Magomedov litigation; Leona Powell and Marlena Valles represented Leyla Mammad Zade while Anthony Peto KC and Peter Head acted for Konstantin Kuzovkov in successful jurisdictional challenges to the claim.
