Marc Delehanty

Serle Court, London

Position

Marc is a barrister practising in London who represents corporate entities and individuals in civil fraud and asset recovery litigation, as part of his broader commercial dispute resolution practice.

He is particularly experienced in high-value commercial litigation which has an international or cross-border element, typically involving jurisdiction challenges and presenting issues of foreign law.  Examples of the heavyweight disputes in which Marc has been instructed include Privatbank v Kolomoisky ($2bn+ claim, one of The Lawyer’s Top 20 cases of 2022) and BTA Bank v Khrapunov ($500m+ claim, which reached the Supreme Court).

His cases often involve high-net-worth individuals or concern issues arising from gambling or cryptocurrency.

Marc also has extensive experience, both as sole and junior counsel, of applications for interim relief (especially when urgent), including for asset freezing injunctions and Norwich Pharmacal information disclosure orders.

As a Mathematics graduate, Marc is highly numerate and confident in tackling very technical and complex evidence.
