Kirsty White

Business & Property

Since joining St Philips Kirsty White has developed a broad and busy commercial and chancery practice across the Business and Property group’s areas of expertise. Kirsty appears regularly as sole counsel in the High Court and County Court on interlocutory matters and fast track and multi-track trials. She is also frequently led. Her growing reputation has also seen her establish a busy paper practice, and is repeatedly instructed by clients in advisory work and to settle proceedings in all aspects of commercial law.

Kirsty is recognised in the legal directories with her commercial approach being recognised. She welcomes early involvement in matters to formulate a commercial, pragmatic and realistic approach to the litigation strategy. This approach stems from her time as an in-house barrister in the commercial litigation team of a Top 100 national firm.

Kirsty has extensive experience in high value claims with an international element. She was led by Ed Pepperall KC (now the Rt Hon. Mr Justice Pepperall) defending a complex $76 million breach of warranty claim for a US client in a 5 week trial in the TCC. She has also been led by James Morgan KC in a multi-million pound fraud matter, in which their client obtained a worldwide freezing order and passport delivery up order against an Afghan national.
