7 KBW is one of the leading chambers in the Banking and Financial Services sector, with members of Chambers having represented many of the largest retail and investment banks and financial institutions in the UK and internationally in a number of high profile cases, including Barings Bank v Coopers & Lybrand (main judgment at [2003] Lloyd’s Rep IR 566 (Jonathan Gaisman QC, Christopher Butcher QC, David Bailey (then junior counsel) and James Brocklebank)).
In addition to performance-related matters such as bills of exchange and documentary credits, members of Chambers have experience in mergers and acquisitions, syndicated loans, collateralised debt obligations, derivatives, interest rate swaps and IPOs, with financial services regulation also forming an increasing part of Chambers’ workload.
Gavin Kealey QC and Michael Holmes are currently acting for Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank in Commercial Court proceedings against IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, in which the claimant alleges fraud in connection with the publication by IKB of its financial statements, press releases and investor presentations.
