About
Abbie is an Associate in our commercial disputes team. Her aim is to provide a pragmatic and cost-effective solution for clients which recognises the client’s commercial drivers.
Abbie has experience in complex UK High Court and cross-jurisdictional litigation, including recent experience in the First Tier Tribunal Property Chamber. She also recognises the importance of alternative dispute resolution and has completed, and taken a leading role in, several successful mediations both virtually and in person concerning a range of issues. Most recently Abbie completed a high value Arbitration hearing in the LCIA.
Her general commercial litigation practice has been varied and involves acting for a range of clients including public and private companies, shareholders, company directors, insolvency practitioners and high net worth individuals. Abbie also has experience in contentious trusts and estates disputes, including offshore trusts, acting for both trustees and beneficiaries.
We advised a pharmaceutical company who was party to a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) in relation to breaches of warranty by the guarantor to the SPA. We conducted the High Court litigation for the client and were able to achieve settlement prior to trial, following a successful mediation.
I worked as part of the global counsel team on several cross-jurisdictional civil litigation claims, comprising proceedings in the UK, Singapore, and Guernsey amongst others. The litigation concerned applications to wind up trust structures in offshore jurisdictions and various claims against the Trustee for breach of duty.
I advised on a complex matter involving a group of family trust structures, the underlying assets for which comprised company shares. This required us to address the complex interplay between fiduciary duties of directors and trustees under Company and Trust Law.
We acted for an Italian distributor of medical equipment against a global medical technology supplier, in relation to a multimillion euro claim within the London Centre of International Arbitration (“LCIA”). The matter comprised numerous issues including breach of contract terms, breach of implied terms, and dispute as to whether the contract was relational. We advised the client and their Italian legal team and managed the arbitration process from inception to final hearing.
