Quadrant Chambers

Ruth's practice spans the full spectrum of commercial litigation and arbitration including general commercial, commodities, energy, insurance, international trade and shipping. Since joining chambers in 2003, she has appeared in the House of Lords, Court of Appeal, and High Court. She has also represented clients in a variety of international and trade arbitrations (including ICC, LCIA, LMAA and GAFTA) and assisted clients in FOSFA arbitrations. Ruth has acted in a number of high profile cases, including "The Achilleas", a leading case on the contractual principles of remoteness of damage.  Most recently, she was junior counsel to Nigel Jacobs QC in "The Atlantik Confidence", a 7-week trial challenging the right to limit under the Limitation Convention (judgment awaited).  She is a meticulous advocate, devoted to the needs of her client, combining rigorous analysis with a common sense commercial approach.  Please visit www.quadrantchambers.com for Ruth's detailed CV
