Practice Areas
Siward acts in disputes about companies, commercial agreements, trusts, insolvencies, civil fraud and real estate. The width of his practice means that he is often a one stop shop for any dispute with a mix of these elements.
He has appeared in many of the most important commercial chancery cases in the last 25 years, including the Ablyazov, WT Air, and Koza litigation and the landmark case of Ivey v Genting, both as a junior and as a silk. He has combined that with a wide variety of nimbler cases, mainly in the UK and Jersey, many of which have recently gone to trial and the Court of Appeal.
