Rupert Reed KC
He has real intellectual and strategic acuity and knows exactly how to pitch a case, whether to a judge, opponent or witness.’
At Serle Court, recent instructions for the property litigation team include Andrew Bruce acting for various mortgagees in West One Loan Ltd v Anton Palmer, concerning the cancellation of the defendant's mental health crisis moratorium. In another matter, Rupert Reed KC represented the widow of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia before the High Court in Asturion Foundation v HH Princess Al Jawharah bint Ibrahim al Ibrahim, a longrunning dispute over the validity of a will gifting the London residence of the late King to the widow, involving complex points of Liechtenstein, Saudi, Islamic and English law. The High Court dismissed the foundation's claims and ruled that the formal validity of the transfer was ultimately a matter of English law. The junior end of the group has been bolstered by the arrivals of Michael Walsh and Jonathan Upton in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
