Charles Fussell & Co LLP

Partner

Simon originally qualified as a barrister, and subsequently joined the commercial litigation department of Lewis Silkin where he was admitted as a solicitor in 2003.  Simon joined Charles Fussell & Co LLP in March 2011 and became a partner on 1 July 2012.  He is also a solicitor-advocate.

Simon acts in all areas of commercial disputes, with a particular focus on litigation and expert determination.

Consistent with the firm’s broader practice, Simon’s practice centres upon commercial fraud, claims for professional negligence, especially against solicitors in respect of corporate and property transactional work, and business disputes, especially over loan and guarantee instruments.  He also has significant experience of insolvency disputes (both personal and corporate), shareholder and partnership disputes and contentious property matters.

Throughout his career, Simon has conducted his own advocacy as well as drafting pleadings and submissions.  He is now a solicitor-advocate.

In addition, Simon is a member of the London Circuit Commercial Court user group, which gives Simon insight not only into the workings of that Court but also into wider developments and initiatives from the Ministry of Justice.
