‘Peter is extremely approachable, very user-friendly and popular with clients. He is highly intelligent and has the confidence of the judges he appears before.’
Erskine Chambers handles both contentious insolvency and corporate restructurings, with members acting on litigation arising from large insolvencies in the wake of the financial crisis, with Peter Arden KC having been instructed by a creditor in Re Project Lietzenburger Strasse Holdco S.A.R.L to oppose a restructuring plan proposed by a Luxembourg company, covering aspects of German law. Raquel Agnello KC has been involved in a number of high-profile cases, and covers restructuring based matters, including CVAs and acting for various businesses. Matthew Parfitt sits as a deputy insolvency judge and has a focus on public interest winding up, and the appointment of provisional liquidators, and Anna Scharnetzky is frequently instructed in contentious restructurings and claims brought by or against office-holders.

Raquel Agnello KC
‘Quite apart from Raquel’s charm and humour (which helps in stressful situations!) she is a perfect combination of the technical, strategic and practical. She hones in on the critical issues and gets straight to the point but while at the same time leading you there so as to leave no stone unturned.’
David Chivers KC
‘Absolutely top-tier expertise in insolvency law, he commands the immediate attention of the court. His written advocacy is exceptional and his oral advocacy and skill as a cross-examiner are also at the same high level. The amazing thing about him though is that these attributes are matched by an equally extraordinary work ethic.’
Andrew Thompson KC
Very intelligent with ability to cut through very complicated legal issues. Real team player and also makes himself available to assist. Proactively deals with his cases thinking outside the box.’
