With ‘great strength in depth at the junior end’ who ‘carry their weight against the other banded sets,’ Radcliffe Chambers' members are experienced in all aspects of insolvency litigation, as well as legal advisory work and corporate insolvency cases. David Mohyuddin KC specialises in commercial litigation, as well as asset recovery, while Tina Kyriakides focuses on cases that are linked to insolvency, commercial fraud and company law. Zachary Kell represents a mix of IPs, individuals and companies in distress, and both James Fagan and Lauren Kreamer are further key juniors at the set.
