New Square Chambers—Alexander Farara

Alexander Farara has joined New Square Chambers to continue his busy commercial chancery practice at the set. Alexander is an advocate specialising in insolvency, civil fraud and contentious trusts.

Called in 2019 and to the British Virgin Islands (BVI) in 2022, Alexander brings a wealth of experience in insolvency, civil fraud and commercial disputes, having successfully handled complex cases, including multi-million pound actions and high-profile insolvency matters.

As well as his practice in the UK, Alexander also has international experience, particularly in the BVI. His recent instructions include acting in an unfair prejudice petition concerning a global Chinese-Mongolian restaurant group and advising an Indian-based shipping group on a dispute against its Swiss legal advisors accused of misappropriating the proceeds of a US$25m arbitration award.

He frequently appears as sole counsel before the High Court and County Courts and has assisted in teams on matters heard before the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, as well as in the BVI Commercial Court and Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal.

Michelle Greene, senior clerk, said ‘We are delighted to have Alexander join us in Chambers. His expertise will be a valuable addition to our team, and we look forward to working with him.’
