With ‘a good range of experience and expertise’, St Philips Chambers is a ’go-to in the Midlands for commercial barristers’. John Brennan has a strong reputation for his client care skills and ‘superb and winning advocacy style’ – he has recently acted in several disputes concerning family businesses. In Parker v Patel & Others, Robert Mundy is representing the principal defendant in relation to a civil fraud claim arising from a failed private hospital development project. Noted particularly for his skill in cross-examination, Ali Tabari focuses on commercial litigation with fraud, insolvency, company, and finance elements. He recently acted in high-profile case Henderson & Jones v Ross, Barnes and Others, representing the former directors of a company liable for fitting faulty PIP breast implants, accused of dishonestly conspiring with Barclays Bank and their solicitors to restructure the company in order to avoid various liabilities, including for compensation to victims of the scandal.
