Head of chambers Richard Chapman KC is a key member of the business and property team at 18 St John Street Chambers, and he successfully acted for the defendants in Arieli v Shalom and others, which concerned a claim for breach of trust in relation to share dividends. The set is also home to Jennifer Newstead-Taylor, who handles a broad range of insolvency law mandates, and Oliver Caplan, who is often called upon to handle director and partnership disputes, as well as banking and insolvency matters. Elisabeth Tythcott was instructed by the claimant in Clements v Frisby, a £100m claim for breach of confidence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract arising from allegations that the defendant used the claimant’s business plan, corporate identity, and seed capital in order to launch their own fashion label.
