Maitland Chambers is a set whose members are well versed in a wide range of areas of commercial litigation, and who are especially well known for handling company and insolvency-related disputes and cases involving allegations of civil fraud. Members are regularly involved in international cases, and are routinely selected to appear in the most complex of trials. Recent work includes: Barton v Morris, an unjust enrichment claim in the Supreme Court; UC Rusal Plc v Crispian Investments Ltd, a mismanagement and breach of shareholders agreement dispute; and Various Claimants v Glencore, a group action bought under Sections 90 and 90A of FSMA. An interviewee comments that Maitland Chambers houses “barristers with brilliant and highly strategic minds, who apply themselves exceptionally to seeking the best result for the client”.
