Sebastian undertakes a broad range of commercial and Chancery work including commercial litigation and arbitration, civil fraud and asset recovery, company and insolvency, contentious trusts, wills and probate, art and cultural property, and property litigation.
He is a highly experienced advocate, often appearing un-led against Silks, but equally happy being led. His experience covers lengthy, complex trials, applications for interim relief (often of an urgent nature) and appellate work (up to Supreme Court level).
Much of his work has an international element to it and he has extensive experience of dealing with conflict of laws and jurisdiction issues. He is called to the Bar of the British Virgin Islands and is regularly instructed on proceedings in that jurisdiction. He has also appeared in the Supreme Court of Seychelles and the European Court of Human Rights, and has provided advice and assistance in relation to proceedings in the Cayman Islands, Jersey, and the Isle of Man.
