Experienced commercial silk joins chambers

Serle Court has announced the arrival of Zoe O’Sullivan QC to chambers.

Called to the Bar in 1993 and taking silk in 2015, Zoe joins Serle Court after 25 years with One Essex Court. Her practice spans a wide range of commercial litigation and arbitration cases, including civil fraud, banking, oil and gas, and company law matters. She also offers particular expertise in software development disputes and applications for interim relief, and frequently sits as an arbitrator.

Commenting on the appointment, Serle Court’s chief executive John Petrie said: ‘Zoe’s arrival adds to our existing strengths in commercial work, and demonstrates that we are attracting the very best talent in this area. As a chambers we are regularly asked to lead on some of the world’s largest and most complex commercial and chancery disputes. Clients say it’s the well-rounded perspective we bring to commercial disputes, because we are home to some of the leading legal minds across both chancery and commercial disciplines that sets us apart. Zoe joining us reinforces this important point of difference.’

Zoe added: ‘I am very much looking forward to moving to Serle Court and joining some of the top names at the Bar in the commercial and chancery fields. The undoubted strength in my core practice area of commercial litigation is complemented by expertise in other related areas that is so often called upon in commercial cases. I believe that this will be of great benefit to me and my clients.’
