Zoe O’Sullivan KC
'Tenacious, forthright, not afraid to make the tough calls and to advise strongly and directly.'
Described as a ‘powerhouse when it comes to DIFC court litigation’ Serle Court remains a popular choice for commercial, banking, civil fraud and asset recovery litigation and arbitration proceedings. The set is strong at both silk and junior level, Rupert Reed KC led James Weale and Gregor Hogan in the long running SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd v. Renish Petrochem FZE, Mehta and Prime Energy FZE on behalf of the SBM Bank regarding an appeal against the 2021 fraud judgement against the first and second defendants. Members of the set often handle complex jurisdiction disputes, with Zoe O’Sullivan KC representing Carmon in Carmon Restructura-Engenharia v Cuenda regarding a freezing order granted by the DIFC and permission to appeal the decision that the court lacked jurisdiction.
