Litigation

We handle disputes that range from shareholder actions through to banking, trusts and funds disputes and asset recovery, constructive trust, breach of contract, professional negligence, matrimonial and construction claims. In addition, we advise on trust applications on behalf of trustees and beneficiaries.

BakerPlatt’s reputation derives in part from the results it has achieved in conducting cases involving fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, corruption, market manipulation and sanctions breaches. The firm is also expert in restraint orders, asset forfeiture, extradition and mutual legal assistance.

Despite our hallmark reputation for courtroom advocacy, we do not approach disputes with the intention of raising the stakes through court action. However, where proceedings are necessary we bring the full force of our advocacy skills to bear in achieving our client’s objectives. Those skills are borne out of substantial collective experience in the courts of Jersey and England, including the Royal Court of Jersey, the Court of Appeal and the Privy Council.
