This week there was a bevy of big litigation wins worthy of shout outs as runners-up. Let’s get straight to it.
A team from Covington & Burling led by partners Craig Pollack and Greg Lascelles, and including London-based lawyers Eddy Eccles, Jonathan Heath and Charlotte Raynor, and Alex Gudko helped win a multi-billion dollar dispute for Ukrainian businessman Oleg Mkrtchan and related corporate entities in the English Commercial Court. The proceedings, pinned at $2 billion in value, involved accusations of wide-ranging fraud against Mkrtchan.

Mkrtchan also had representation from David Wolfson QC, Sebastian Isaac and Henry Hoskins, all of One Essex Court, plus Harris Bor of Twenty Essex.
