Their abilities in this area earn Serle Court the accolade of a “go-to set for offshore trust litigation.” Additionally, its members regularly handle complex civil fraud matters. Partnership disputes, as well as an array of challenging company and commercial litigation matters, also feature in the set’s case load."
