DLA Piper often acts on multijurisdictional issues, including fraudulent transactions arising from the collapse of international banks, as well as instructions relating to freezing orders in English courts. Recently, the firm has been busy with cross-border joint venture disputes, including an oligarch dispute, which involved serious allegations of fraud and asset-stripping, and with substantial freezing orders in place in multiple jurisdictions as well as fraudulent misrepresentations leading to arbitration proceedings. The team is jointly headed by the ‘superb duo’ Jamie Curle and Jeremy Andrews, who are both experienced in cross-border disputes in the banking, funds and financial services sector, and includes ‘hugely talented’ Charles Allin, who has a specialism in regard to offshore and international arbitration matters. Adam Ibrahim, Jeremy Sher, James Carter and Jean‑Pierre Douglas‑Henry are further key members of the team. Tom Laidler made partner in May 2023.
