High-profile ‘bet-the-company’ litigation is a strength of the practice, which is also skilled at handling ESG class actions. Ben Trust, who heads the ’solutions-focused, commercial and insightful’ team, has experience handling joint venture and shareholder disputes. Luke Pardey is praised for his 'brilliant' knowledge and approach to technology-related contract disputes, while Kenny Henderson is engaged by various blue-chip clients on leading class actions.
