4 New Square Chambers
4 New Square Chambers is ‘a strong set with some stellar individuals among its ranks’. In a complex $2bn fraud claim brought by a Thai businessman, Justin Fenwick KC, George Spalton KC and Kendrah Potts acted for the claimant, who alleges that one of Thailand’s largest financial institutions, together with its CEO, engaged in a fraudulent conspiracy to deprive him of his interest in a renewable energy company. Elsewhere in chambers, Daniel Saoul KC represents the Serious Fraud Office, KPMG, Harbour Litigation Funding, Quantuma, and a law firm in the high-stakes Orb litigation, which involves the rights to assets that are worth over £100m and the proceeds of complex frauds.
