Litigation

 

Litigation - Guernsey 

The Guernsey Litigation team focuses exclusively on resolving disputes that arise in the world of international finance. Our work includes obtaining freezing and other injunctions, commercial and trusts litigation of all kinds, fraud and asset tracing, insurance disputes and insolvency matters. We advise on the technical, strategic and procedural aspects across the spectrum of problems and disputes which arise in an offshore environment. Our specialist Employment Law team also sits within the Litigation Group.

Our Litigation team has previous experience with various leading UK law firms and possesses substantial general commercial experience before both the Guernsey and English courts. We are involved in many of the noteworthy and high profile contentious commercial, trust and insolvency matters that have occurred in Guernsey in recent years, such as advising foreign governments on the freezing of funds said to be the proceeds of corruption, the first Guernsey Hastings Bass application (and associated application for joinder by a foreign revenue authority), the administrators of the first ever licensed fiduciary company to be put into administration under the new Guernsey Companies Law, 2008, advising on the world’s first administration of a protected cell company, on the first receivership of a cell of a protected cell company brought before the Royal Court of Guernsey and on matters arising from virtually all of the high profile cross-border insolvencies that have touched upon Guernsey.

The team is consistently recognised by industry commentators with partner, Simon Davies acknowledged as a leading individual.
