Commercial

Commercial litigation has formed much of David’s practice since he started at the Bar and it continues to do so in Silk. His experience covers all manner of cases but now has a particular focus on commercial litigation, including allegations of fraud; mortgages and asset recovery; company and shareholder disputes.

Recent examples of David’s work include:

  • advising and representing a party interested in purchasing a well-known football club in proceedings arising from the sale of the club to a third party, including maintaining injunctive relief which had been obtained urgently
  • advising and representing a major food manufacturer in connection with a dispute with an employment agency
  • advising and representing the directors of a former high-profile retailer in connection with a dispute concerning a claim made against them
  • advising a large group of claimants seeking damages from the professionals who acted for them in their failed investments in off-plan apartments
