Boutique firm Harcus Parker Limited focuses purely on litigation, and since its foundation in 2019 has forged a strong reputation in civil fraud matters. A hallmark of the wider firm, as well as this practice, is its strength in group cases, acting for large numbers of individuals or companies. ‘Great strategic thinker’ Adam Zoubir and commercial litigator Jenny Morrissey jointly lead the team, and they are ably supported by Robert Salek and Edward Argles, who are further names to note.
