‘A leading set with serious strength in depth’, barristers at 3 Verulam Buildings regularly pivot between domestic and multi-jurisdictional disputes, advising insolvency practitioners, liquidators, corporates, insurers and banks. The set is well-versed in all aspects of insolvency litigation, including disputes raising elements of fraud. With a hearing scheduled in the Court of Appeal in 2025, Ewan McQuater KC represents the claimant in Crescent Gas Corporation v National Iranian Oil Company, a case concerning the transfer of property allegedly done to avoid the enforcement of judgments made following disputes over the supply of Iranian gas. Ian Wilson KC is leading Philip Hinks, James McWilliams and William Day for the liquidators in a major commercial fraud claim, Harrington & Charles Trading Co v Jatin Mehta, which relates to the alleged misappropriation and laundering of the proceeds of gold bullion loans.
