Tony Beswetherick (formerly of Enterprise Chambers) has now joined 20 Essex Street. Tony has a broad commercial practice with particular expertise in insolvency and company law. He has recently been instructed in relation to the liquidation of the Aquascutum clothing brand and in relation to the administration of the Chez Gerard restaurant group. He is also presently instructed in a large-scale dispute regarding the exploitation of an oil development site in the Republic of Georgia, and has on-going instructions in relation to a number of contentious disputes arising from directors' misfeasance.
