South Square—Tony Beswetherick KC

Set strengthens civil fraud and insolvency offering with new member

South Square has announced that Tony Beswetherick KC has joined chambers as a member, further strengthening its capability in complex domestic and international disputes. He joins from Twenty Essex, where he developed a highly regarded practice in civil fraud, asset recovery, insolvency and company law.

With more than 20 years’ experience at the Bar, Beswetherick has built a practice with a strong international dimension. He is admitted to practise in the British Virgin Islands and regularly appears before the courts of the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as the DIFC and ADGM Courts.

His work spans civil fraud and asset recovery, shareholder and company disputes, insolvency and restructuring, and related commercial litigation and arbitration. He is also experienced in urgent court applications, including asset freezing orders, property recovery and the appointment of receivers.

Beswetherick said: ‘It is a pleasure to be joining South Square, a set with an outstanding reputation for its work on complex disputes’, adding that the depth of expertise across insolvency, civil fraud and asset recovery is ‘second to none’.
