Lawyers
Leading Silks
KCs at the very top of their field, with a long-established record of market-defining cases, and widespread endorsement from clients and peers. All silks appointed in the last two rounds are listed further below.
Andrew Onslow KC
Andrew has unparalleled experience with investor group claims under FSMA s.90 and 90a/Sch 10. He is able to navigate skillfully through both (i) the legal thicket caused by statutory provisions the scope of which has yet to be conclusively determined by the Courts and (ii) the complexities of managing disparate groups of international investors and litigation funders. He balances intellectual excellence with first-rate client management skills and compelling, clear advocacy.
Adam Kramer KC
Adam is at the top of his game in group litigation. He is instructed on all the mega cases in the jurisdiction, and rightfully so.
