Chambers Global Guide
Offshore (Bar) - UK
Individual Editorial
Robert Weekes KC of Blackstone Chambers has built a considerable offshore practice in the BVI and has appeared before the Privy Council and the ECSC Court of Appeal. He focuses his practice on commercial work, with strength in cases relating to joint ventures, fraud and insolvency.
Strengths
He is a very clever and personable chap. I regard Rob as a hungry young silk with great experience in freezing orders.
International Arbitration - The English Bar - Global Market Leaders
Individual Editorial
Robert Weekes KC of Blackstone Chambers advocates in high-value arbitrations in the banking and finance sector, particularly on behalf of Russian clients. He has experience handling anti-suit injunctions and challenging arbitration awards in the Commercial Court. He is familiar with LCIA and ICC proceedings, and has acted in arbitrations seated in Paris.
Strengths
Robert is very strong on technical points of law, and is someone who will knuckle down and do the analysis, to make the complex simple.
Dispute Resolution: Commercial - UK
Strengths
A very capable, technical lawyer.
He gets stuck into incredibly complex matters, and his cross-examination is very impressive.
