The members of Maitland Chambers have substantial experience in representing clients before all levels of court, including before the Privy Council, in commercial, shareholder, and joint venture disputes, fraud cases, and cross-border insolvency matters. Among its strong bench of silks, Richard Morgan KC is a key name for handling cases regarding high-value fraud; he represented the claimant in Ivanishvili and Others v Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Limited, a defence of an appeal brought by the defendants regarding a $607.5m judgment regarding a fraud committed by Credit Suisse employees. Andrew Westwood KC handles cases arising out of the BVI, Cayman, and Jersey, while David Mumford KC is acting for the defendants in a case surrounding claims that they fabricated a trust in the BVI and subsequently utilised it to seize control of very high-value assets (Ieremeieva v Estera, Lagur and Others). Turning to the juniors, Olivier Kalfon specialises in commercial litigation and predominately acts for clients in BVI and Cayman Island proceedings.
