South Square—Aidan Casey QC

Chambers welcomes fraud silk
South Square chambers has recently announced the addition of fraud silk, Aidan Casey QC, to its insolvency practice. 

Aidan (pictured) has been a member of 3 Hare Court since 1994 and was made silk in 2016.

Aidan said of his appointment: 'South Square is a key place to be for those who are interested in working with a range of offshore cases from East to West. It has a track record of being involved in the largest and most complex insolvency cases, which can often uncover a range of fraud and misfeasance claims, and I’m looking forward to applying my knowledge to cases that arise.'

Joint Heads of Chambers, David Alexander QC and Mark Arnold QC, said: 'We are delighted that Aidan is joining South Square. He is a highly-regarded silk, specialising in heavyweight litigation and arbitration, with an enviable reputation for excellence amongst clients and practitioners alike. Members of the Chambers are all looking forward to working with him and we extend a warm welcome to him.'
