Kingsley Napley LLP‘s track record includes both large, high-profile cases in the High Court and groundbreaking Supreme Court matters concerning fraud. The civil fraud practice is particularly experienced in representing foreign governments, banks, corporations, office holders and offshore trustees in multi-jurisdictional disputes, and asset tracing and recovery actions. It is also increasingly involved in cases involving the cross-over of civil and criminal liability issues, while its investigations expertise covers employment, regulatory, and media and reputation management matters. Dispute resolution head Richard Foss is currently acting for several commercial clients against various financial institutions in fraudulent misrepresentation claims; William Christopher represents both claimants and defendants in investigations, co-ordinates multi-jurisdiction litigation to recover assets, and assists with internal fraud investigations; Sue Thackeray is ’one of the most effective lawyers around’; and Fiona Simpson is experienced in bringing and defending civil fraud proceedings, which often involve offshore jurisdictions and CIS countries. Other key figures include fraud and asset recovery expert Mary Young, who acts for fraud victims; Ryan Mowat, a specialist in the fraud side of contentious trusts and estates matters; Richard Clayman, who acts in high-profile civil fraud cases; and Laurence Clarke, who is ‘very much up and coming’.
