South Square 'His ability to cut through complicated issues is remarkable.'
South Square is particularly well-equipped to tackle fraud litigation that arises following significant corporate incidents or collapses, leveraging the set’s ‘tremendous expertise in restructuring and insolvency’. For instance, in London Capital & Finance plc & Ors v Thomson & Ors, Stephen Robins KC and Andrew Shaw KC act for the administrators in proceedings for fraudulent trading under section 246ZA of the Insolvency Act 1986 and breach of duty, following LCF’s collapse after misleading investors about its mini-bonds.
