Recent cases include a high profile professional negligence claim brought on behalf of a major international bank against a magic circle law firm; a case against Credit Suisse arising from derivative notes related to Greensill exposures which would have challenged prevailing case law on the "no look through" principle in the context of bearer notes; and a multi-million pound dispute concerning the collapse of a joint venture in the energy sector.
