Campbells makes for a robust choice of counsel in any liquidations and related disputes, being well versed in cross-border matters. The practice also covers investment fund litigation, shareholder disputes and Ponzi scheme lawsuits, and winding up petitions. The firm has dispute resolution as a cornerstone practice area and the department is led by Guy Manning, an experienced name across insolvency and restructuring. 'Brilliant litigator' Mark Goodman is also a key name, and Liam Faulkner has been a regular attorney at the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands in recent years. One client singles out Paul Kennedy as a 'respected thought leader in the field of insolvency and asset recovery', while in both international arbitration and commercial litigation, Andrew Pullinger remains a contact to note. For just and equitable winding up cases, Guy Cowan stands out, and both Nienke Lillington and Harry Shaw encapsulate the strength in depth of the office in this area.
