As for banking law, members of Chambers have acted not only in discrete contractual disputes (involving, for example, bills of exchange, contracts of guarantee or complex financial instruments), but also in broader litigation involving the management and supervision of banks. For example, several members of Chambers were heavily involved in litigation arising out of the collapse of Barings.
Given the large amount of shipping and commodities work done in Chambers, most of our members also have experience of dealing with issues arising out of trade finance.
