Restructuring/Insolvency - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Wilberforce Chambers is noted for its impressive work tackling both corporate and personal insolvency matters. Members are frequently called upon to undertake cases arising both in the UK and further afield, and offer significant expertise in the handling of complex multi-jurisdictional disputes. Market commentators note that "it is a leading set with some very bright minds who are very capable of taking on the most complicated and sophisticated cases," with particular areas of strength for the set spanning administrations, CVAs, restructurings and schemes of arrangement. The team is also regularly instructed in cases involving complex pensions and property elements, owing to the set's established strengths in these areas. An enviable client list includes creditors, debtors and insolvency office holders. Recent cases of note include the Lehman Brothers litigation, and Halabi v Equity Trust (Jersey).
