Nick Jones and Edward Allen lead the team, with the latter commended for demonstrating ‘masterly analysis’ in his cases. ’Very good technical lawyer’ Jamie Leader has expertise in contentious insolvency and financial services restructuring, with Jonathan Pagan also demonstrating broad expertise and described as ‘all over the detail on tuna bonds’. At associate level, the ’very bright and incisive’ Deborah Tillett is singled out.
