Commercial
39 Essex Chambers’ commercial practice encompasses advocacy and advisory work across a broad range of commercial areas. We have extensive experience in dealing with complex, high-value commercial court disputes, arbitrations and mediations in the Commercial Court and Chancery Division in the UK as well as offshore and internationally.
Our work spans the full spectrum of commercial dispute resolution and litigation. We handle high-value international disputes, civil fraud cases such as investment schemes and crypto-related fraud, contentious contract breakdowns, shareholder disputes, warranty and earnout claims, as well as recoveries for lenders.
Our team is also skilled in handling professional discipline cases, covenant breaches and judicial review proceedings.
Our commercial dispute barristers regularly use injunctions, search and seizure orders and other emergency procedures to protect our clients’ interests when decisive action is required to resolve issues efficiently and effectively.
We support our clients through complex and high-pressure situations, offering strategic advice, practical guidance, clarity and empathy throughout the process.
