Concentrating on claimant-side counsel, Edwin Coe LLP has an impressive track record in high-profile, high-value fraud cases, coming up against major financial institutions, corporations, and cartelists. Leadership of the group is divided between David Greene, one of the country’s leading claimant lawyers for consumers and others bringing collective actions based on fraud, and Ali Zaidi, whose practice concentrates on fraud-related cases and insolvency. Zahira Hussain is strong on contractual disputes, and barrister Thomas Malato-Johnson is a further key contact. Additional lawyers of note include Ian Chai, Fred Sheppard, and Charlotte Kessler.
