Littleton Chambers

Top Ranked trial and appellate advocate whose expertise spans the full range of commercial, employment, partnership and sport, regularly appearing at the highest levels in domestic, international and offshore courts (including DIFC and ADGM) and arbitral tribunals.

He has over 25 years of experience representing clients ranging from multinational corporations, global banks, UK and foreign governments to high-profile public figures, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and boardroom executives in often high-value, market-sensitive, or politically charged matters.

Exceptionally, he was appointed by the Attorney-General ‘directly’ to the A-Panel of Counsel to the Crown to undertake the highest profile work for HM Government.

He has been instructed in many of the leading cases from employee competition and team moves to whistleblowing, discrimination and bonus claims.

Recent Supreme Court appearances include: the leading Supreme Court authority on state immunity under international law (Saudi Arabia v Costantine) [2025] UKSC 0061; and the only-ever case to leapfrog appeal from EAT to Supreme Court (Basfar v Wong [2023] AC 33).

Reported team move cases include: obtaining Court of Appeal team move injunctions against directors and shareholders (MIMO Connect Ltd v Buley [2023] EWCA Civ 909); breaches of confidence and covenants (Quilter Private Client Advisers Ltd v Falconer [2022] IRLR 227); contempt of court for breaching injunction order (Advetec Holdings Ltd v Shaw [2020] EWHC 2660).

Reported Middle East cases include: the first-ever discrimination, victimisation, and whistleblowing trial in the DIFC Courts (Mahmood v Standard Chartered Bank [2024] DIFC CFI 044/2021); and an ultra-high-value bonus claim (Kahlon v Liberty Steel Group Ltd [2024] DIFC CFI).

High-profile investigations and inquiries include: being appointed to chair the high-profile independent investigation into Yorkshire County Cricket Club; and chairing the independent inquiry into anti-Semitism at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
