Quillon Law—Neil Dooley

Disputes firm expands fraud and investigations practice with partner hire

Disputes boutique Quillon Law has appointed Neil Dooley as partner from Steptoe, further strengthening its civil fraud and investigations practice. Neil’s arrival follows the addition of partner Ian Hargreaves last year and underscores the firm’s ambition to build its capabilities in large-scale, cross-border fraud litigation, commercial disputes, and white-collar investigations.

A specialist in complex, multi-jurisdictional cases involving Eastern Europe and the CIS region, Neil has acted for clients across the financial services, insurance, pharmaceutical, and property sectors. He is recognised for his strategic approach to fraud cases, particularly in securing freezing orders, tracing assets, and achieving practical commercial outcomes for clients. His experience spans commercial litigation, international arbitration, white-collar defence, WTO disputes, and asset recovery, frequently working alongside foreign lawyers and law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Neil said: ‘Over the past few years, Quillon Law has established itself as one of London’s most dynamic litigation boutiques. I am thrilled to be joining the partnership and look forward to contributing to the firm’s reputation for delivering results in complex and high-profile commercial disputes.’

Partner Mark Hastings added: ‘Neil is an exceptional litigator with an outstanding record in complex fraud and international disputes. His arrival underlines our commitment to offering clients world-class expertise and strategic insight across the full spectrum of commercial and white-collar matters.’ Neil’s appointment brings Quillon Law’s partner count to seven, marking another milestone in the firm’s continued growth.
