Commercial chancery barrister joins chambers

Twenty Essex has announced that commercial chancery barrister Mark Baldock has joined chambers.

Mark practises across commercial disputes in both litigation and arbitration, with a particular focus on matters involving civil fraud, insolvency and company law. He also has experience of offshore matters, including recently in a substantial dispute before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands regarding damages for a broker’s unlawful sale of shares.

Mark was called to the England and Wales Bar in 2019. He has also previously spent a short time as a judicial assistant in the Chancery Division of the High Court.

In a joint message, Philip Edey KC and Charles Kimmins KC, co-heads of chambers, commented: 'We are delighted to welcome Mark as a new member of Twenty Essex, and an exceptional addition to chambers’ commercial chancery practice. Given the importance of large-scale, complex international commercial disputes, Mark’s broad expertise further enhances our ability to put forward outstanding multidisciplinary teams equipped to handle the biggest cases – in the English courts, offshore jurisdictions and beyond.'

Mark Baldock added: 'I am very pleased to be joining Twenty Essex, a set at the top of its game. I am looking forward to continuing to build my practice alongside its pre-eminent members and contributing my expertise where I am able.'
