Midland Circuit
No5 Barristers’ Chambers continues to offer ‘strength in depth at all levels’ when it comes to commercial dispute resolution. Nicholas Cobill is praised by clients as ’tremendously clever with a brilliant legal mind’. He regularly appears in high-value multi-track proceedings in the High Court; in A F Kopp Limited v HSBC UK Bank PLC he is acting for HSBC in relation to claims brought by a former business customer for breach of contact and breach of duty of care arising from the suspension of a foreign currency account during an anti-money laundering review - the claim concerns the effect of a standard banking clause that excludes liability for direct or consequential loss. Yasmin Yasseri has an excellent reputation for her ‘hands-on approach’ and ’keen eye for detail’. In Muylle-Facon BV v Combrink & Others she is defending her client against accusations that it procured a breach of contact. At the more junior end, Annie Townley continues to build a strong practice.
