Brick Court Chambers is noted as being a ‘stellar set, with great strength both at the silk level and among juniors’. Members of this set regularly act on high-profile cases, including the Nord Stream AG v Lloyd’s Insurance Company SA case, where Simon Salzedo KC and Michael Bolding advised several insurers on a claim under an offshore operating all risks insurance policy after the Nord Stream pipeline was damaged - allegedly by state actors. Elsewhere in the set, Mark Howard KC is appeared in the mammoth AerCap v AIG trial, in which AerCap has sued its All Risks and War Risks insurers for insurance coverage, following the imposed sanctions in the EU prohibiting the leasing of aircraft and parts to Russian airlines. Whereas Tony Singla KC is seen acting for primary layer insurers in a claim under a construction all risks policy in a dispute arising from the abandonment of a mobile offshore production unit in the Norwegian North Sea.
