Chambers Review
St Philips Chambers is well equipped to advise on the full range of company issues. Held in high esteem by their local, national and international clients, barristers at St Philips continue to take on challenging unfair prejudice, misfeasance, and breach of fiduciary duty claims, among other matters. A notable work highlight for the set is Re Corrugated Box Supplies Ltd (Sahota & Sahota), a dispute that involves an unfair prejudice petition and proceedings for alleged breach of trust. Members regularly act in disputes regarding share agreements and other cases concerning the ownership of companies. A source sums them up as follows: "The set is very forward-thinking, great to work with and very comfortable with technology."
