Our People

Sparsh Garg is a chancery and commercial barrister specialising in contentious trusts and estates matters and company disputes. He has acted in complex, high-value trusts and company cases. 

Sparsh is recognised in the legal directories for offshore private client and commercial work. He regularly receives instructions in The Bahamas, Gibraltar and Jersey, is called to the BVI Bar, and acts in BVI matters independently and as part of counsel teams. 

In England, Sparsh is recognised as a “rising star” and “up and coming” barrister in traditional chancery and private client work. Clients describe him as “intelligent, hard-working, an innovative thinker”, as well as personable and a good team player. 

In 2019, Sparsh was seconded to the dispute resolution team of a leading Gibraltar law firm, working on contentious trusts and commercial disputes. He has since continued to develop his offshore practice, acting as sole counsel and alongside other barristers. 

His offshore experience includes three Privy Council appeals: Chu v Lau [2020], concerning just and equitable winding-up on grounds of shareholder deadlock; Perry v Lopag [2023], concerning appellate intervention in findings of foreign law; and Dawson-Damer v Grampian Trust Company Ltd, concerning a trustee’s duty of adequate deliberation. 

Jamie Randall has a practice spanning a wide range of disputes concerning commercial and personal interests, and frequently the interconnection between the two. His recent trust and probate work covers the full spectrum of traditional chancery proceedings, including claims for breach of trust, accounts and removal of trustees, proprietary estoppel, 1975 Act claims, and probate disputes. Those cases often have an international element and he has acted on cases in numerous jurisdictions, including Jersey, Guernsey, Singapore, The Bahamas and Bermuda. His commercial work often includes claims for breach of fiduciary duty, deceit, unfair prejudice and insolvency-related issues. 

Prior to coming to the Bar, Jamie worked in strategy consulting focused on the financial services sector. He approaches cases with pragmatism and always maintains a focus on the commercial outcome for clients. He also still enjoys being able to apply his financial experience to complex claims concerning valuation and forensic accounting issues. 

Hugh Rowan specialises in property law and regularly acts in property disputes arising within a commercial chancery context. 

His practice focuses on real property, enfranchisement, residential and commercial landlord and tenant law, alongside commercial and company disputes. He appears as sole counsel and as part of a team in the High Court, County Court and First-tier Tribunal. 

Hugh regularly acts in high-profile cases. In 2025 and 2026, he appeared five times in the Court of Appeal in significant cases concerning damages for disrepair, the scope of the Building Safety Act 2022, the construction of a shareholders’ agreement and the court’s jurisdiction in bankruptcy proceedings. 

Clients value Hugh’s collaborative approach and his ability to navigate complex legal and factual issues. 

Hugh co-authors five specialist property law books covering service charges, the right to manage, enfranchisement and the Building Safety Act 2022, including one volume that he edits. He also regularly contributes to the Landlord & Tenant Review, writing case digests, topical articles and case commentaries. 

During his legal training, Hugh volunteered as a caseworker at the Free Representation Unit and the Blackfriars Settlement Advice Clinic, gaining experience supporting individuals with legal issues.
