A founding Partner of Quillon Law, Mark Hastings is an experienced litigator who has been involved as lead partner in some of the highest value and most complicated cases before the English courts and internationally over the past two decades.

Mark is well-known for his work across multiple jurisdictions in complex civil fraud cases and investigations, as well as acting in high-profile commercial litigation, insolvency litigation, shareholder disputes, contentious trusts and private wealth disputes.
