PCB Litigation Celebrates Leap Up The Legal 500
The Legal 500 United Kingdom 2011 has announced its rankings.
PCB Litigation, worldwide fraud lawyers and fraud solicitors, specialist in corporate fraud and Asset Recovery, are pleased to announce that within Fraud: Civil, the team has moved up two tiers and is now firmly established as one of the leading practices specialising in this area. The firm has also been recognised within the Dispute resolution group as well.
The directory said that "PCB Litigation LLP is attracting big-ticket litigation work. It is instructed by Jenington International and KazakhGold in a $450m fraud claim, which has included obtaining a number of freezing orders, the execution of simultaneous search orders, and the resistance of an application of damages for $100m. Steven Philippsohn and Anthony Riem are both highly regarded."
Senior Partner, Steven Philippsohn says, "The Legal 500 is so well respected because it is based solely on genuine recommendations. The fact that our clients value us enough to write about our work is a source of a real pride. We are pleased to be recognised."
Researchers speak to thousands of law firms commercial clients every year to compile the list. The recommendations are based largely on what they say and on the opinions of thousands of rival commercial lawyers. It is not possible for a firm to buy its way into the Editorial.
PCB Litigation Chambers and Partners Recommendation
The Chambers Directory published last month said of global asset recovery specialists PCB Litigation LLP: "An impressive array of clients beat a path to this fraud litigation boutique. Although not the largest practice in the market, it is an attractive proposition by virtue of its keen commitment to, and fine results in, this field. Significant work for the practice includes acting on the high stakes fraud and conspiracy litigation of Jenington International Inc & Others v Assaubayev."
Steven Philippsohn is the lead lawyer here. Sources say he is "an experienced specialist" who is "deserving of recognition." He played a key role in the Jenington v Assaubayev dispute, including substantial asset tracing work.
Trevor Mascarenhas wins plaudits for being "very hard-working" and having "very good judgement." In addition to advising on the multimillion-dollar Jenington v Assaubayev dispute, he also acts for the largest Ukrainian gas and oil company, Ukrnafta, in a high-value Stockholm arbitration.
Anthony Riem also acted on the Jenington case, and is lauded by notable market sources: "He is efficient and is doing well."
