What the Team is Known For
South Square continues to garner praise for its fine company practice. Barristers at the set receive instructions from the foremost corporate law firms and advise on a range of company matters, including schemes of arrangement, shareholder disputes and directors' duties. Many of the cases they handle have a cross-border element. The set enjoys a strong reputation for its company work as it arises within the context of restructurings and insolvencies. Notable matters recently handled by members include Re AGPS Bondco (Re Adler), the first restructuring plan case to reach the Court of Appeal, and Bulb Energy Ltd, which involves the first ever application for an energy supply company administration order. China Shanshui is an example of the set's recent work on shareholder litigation heard at the appellate level.
Dylan Playfoot is the senior clerk.
