Adil Mohamedbhai

Practice Areas

Adil has a broad commercial chancery practice. He has particular expertise in high-value, multi-jurisdictional commercial chancery, civil fraud, commercial, offshore and trust disputes. He is recognised as a leading junior in those practice areas.

Adil acts both as sole counsel and junior counsel as part of a team of barristers. In addition to regular appearances in both the Chancery Division and the Commercial Court, Adil has appeared in the Court of Appeal, the UK Supreme Court and the Privy Council. He also has substantial experience appearing in, or assisting with, arbitrations and cases in other jurisdictions, including Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, the Bahamas, Singapore, the DIFC, Mauritius and Malta. He has developed a particular expertise in private international law issues. He is also one of the few juniors at the English Bar with experience in shareholder appraisal actions in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.

Prior to coming to the Bar, Adil qualified as a solicitor at Freshfields, where he was involved in a broad range of transactional and contentious work (including public and private M&A deals, IPOs, share buybacks, rights issues and corporate restructurings). He is therefore very familiar with "City" work.

During 2009 - 2010, Adil was appointed as one of the first judicial assistants to the Justices of the UK Supreme Court, where he worked for Lords Rodger and Brown.
