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. He specialises in civil fraud, chancery commercial and insolvency, offshore and Privy Council, and general commercial dispute resolution. His expertise spans across both litigation and international arbitration, working with cases internationally and cross border, with significant experience in disputes involving Russia/the CIS, The UAE, Mauritius, Cyprus, Sweden, The BVI, Malta, Switzerland, Bermuda, and the Bahamas. He has been called (pro hac) to the Bars of Bermuda and the Bahamas.

Aidan's recent arbitration experience has further included a series of related LCIA arbitrations, and associated Cypriot litigation, concerning a complex battle for control of one of Siberia’s largest open-cast coal mines.

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.'

William Mackinlay, CEO of South Square Chambers, said: 'We’re really pleased that Aidan has opted to join South Square. It’s a natural fit that someone of his level and expertise joins us to expand our offering'.
