Commercial litigation

South Square

With a ‘large number of excellent lawyers’, South Square offers particular strength in insolvency, banking, and finance litigation. Felicity Toube KC acted for the claimants in NMC Healthcare v Dubai Islamic Bank, a significant litigation in Abu Dhabi arising out of the administration of the UAE-based private healthcare group following the discovery of a multi-billion-pound fraud within the business. Adam Al-Attar KC, newly appointed to silk in March 2024, is instructed by SoftBank Vision II Fund to defend a claim by a Credit Suisse sub-fund alleging SoftBank engineered a financial restructuring of construction company Katerra that favoured the Japanese conglomerate over the Swiss bank’s clients. Meanwhile, Tom Smith KC acted for PwC as liquidators of the Abraaj Group, which collapsed in July 2018 following allegations of misuse of funds, leading to the liquidators bringing claims in the Cayman Islands to recover assets transferred from the Abraaj Group prior to its liquidation.
