Whilst Charlotte is an experienced trial lawyer she also has experience in the resolution of disputes by way of arbitration and mediation.

Tim Penny KC (Wilberforce Chambers): Tim has particular expertise in commercial fraud cases, many of which have an international flavour and involve cross-border issues such as jurisdiction disputes, anti-suit injunctions and foreign law considerations. He has excellent knowledge of search orders and worldwide freezing orders. These cases often involve cross-examination on asset disclosure, contempt of court applications and without notice applications testing the boundaries of the court’s jurisdiction to ensure that assets are eventually available for the enforcement of judgments or arbitral awards.
