The civil fraud group at Travers Smith LLP has acted on some of the biggest mandates before the English courts in recent years and is a firm of choice for a number of heavyweight international firms when referring clients to UK counsel in fraud cases. Heather Gagen heads the wider dispute resolution group and thereby oversees the civil fraud team. Rob Fell's recent workload has been impressive, and has included multi-jurisdictional cases jointly led with Stephanie Lee. For investigations, Toby Robinson and Polly Richard are key figures. Huw Jenkin and Alexa Day both bolster the team with litigation experience.
Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The perfect balance between size and substance. Their lawyers are of the highest quality and their departments are large enough to count but small enough to be personal.’
‘An outstanding team. They really do bring real value to any case. I would rate them as one of the best litigation teams in London, punching well above their weight. They rightly feature in many of the biggest cases.’
