Members at Maitland Chambers are routinely instructed in high-profile, multi-jurisdictional insolvency and restructuring matters. The set is particularly well-regarded for its expertise in civil fraud and offshore disputes. Catherine Addy KC is instructed in Core VCT Plc (in liquidation) & others v Fray and Mather & others, a case involving claims of transactions at undervalue and breaches of duty. Addy KC is also leading Rosanna Foskett in Standard Chartered Bank v Registrar of Companies, which involves an alleged $1bn fraud, the proceeds of which were advanced by an international bank to Indian corporate borrowers. Andrew Westwood KC and Christopher Parker KC appeared in Bilta v Tradition Financial Services, a Supreme Court appeal involving several companies in liquidation in claims relating to VAT fraud. Olivier Kalfon KC took silk in March 2026.
