How to instruct English barristers from anywhere in the world

On Wednesday, Lance Ashworth KC, Wilson LeungSophie Holcombe, and Oliver Jones had the pleasure of participating in an ICC FraudNet Strategic Partner presentation to FraudNet members and the FraudNet Futures community on 'How to instruct English barristers from anywhere in the world'. 

The speakers engaged their listeners with examples of how foreign lawyers can instruct our barristers on fraud and asset tracing matters, and gave examples of recent notable cases that our Civil Fraud barristers have recently been involved in:

  • Ivanishvili v Credit Suisse          
  • Isbilen v Turk                                    
  • Jinxin v Aser Media
  • Public Institution for Social Security v Al-Rajaan
  • Magdeev v Tsvetkov

With thanks to Priya Jethwa (FraudNet) and Charlotte Bhania (PCB Byrne) for organising this virtual session.
