Commercial litigation

7 King's Bench Walk

7 King’s Bench Walk offers an impressive ‘array of talent at all levels’ and is particularly renowned for its expertise in insurance, reinsurance, and shipping disputes as part of a broader commercial disputes offering. Barristers in the set have been instructed by various parties in aviation litigation concerning whether aircraft expropriated by the Russian Federation – after the imposition of sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine – are permanently lost, and whether this loss is attributable to a war risk or an all-risk insured policy. This includes Gavin Kealey KC, Clara Benn, and Ralph Morley’s defence of AIG, and Richard Waller KC and Michael Ryan’s defence of Lloyds Insurance Co against aircraft lessor AerCap Ireland. Additionally, Alistair Schaff KC and Rebecca Sabben-Clare KC are acting for the claimant in Dubai Aerospace Enterprise Ltd v Lloyd’s Insurance Company and others, with Jonathan Gaisman KC, Siobán Healy KC, Keir Howie, and others representing Global Aerospace. Members have also been active in a number of COVID-19 business interruption cases, including Gavin Kealey KC and Josephine Higgs KC acting for the Al Mana group in its Commercial Court claim against three Gulf-based insurers.
