Serle Court is 'a quality set that rightly deserves its first-class reputation'. The team garners praise for being 'extremely bright and able with a fantastic skill set for company work, especially with an insolvency, fraud or trusts angle'. Recent work for the group includes Jonathan Adkin KC appearing in Re: Jardine Strategic Holdings Ltd, an ongoing, high-value shareholder appraisal action dispute in Bermuda, while Philip Marshall KC is acting in a major injunction case concerning a NASDAQ listed company in the Cayman Islands. Among the juniors, David Drake is sought after for his experience in handling unfair prejudice petitions and claims for breaches of directors' duties, and Tom Braithwaite's workload includes claims in insolvency.
