Dominic Roberts joins St Philips

St Philips Chambers is delighted to welcome specialist company and commercial law barrister Dominic Roberts to its ranks. Dominic joins us from one of the UKs leading law firms, Wragge & Co LLP, where he was a corporate and litigation partner.

Specialising in all aspects of company law and financial engineering, as well as in general commercial disputes, Dominic's widely acknowledged expertise attracts clients including major UK and international corporates, as well as leading UK and overseas law and accountancy firms. In 2009 these skills were recognised by The Financial Times when they awarded Dominic its Innovative Lawyers Award for the creation of the concept of a contractual profit reserve.

Dominic commented "I am very honoured to have been invited to join St Philips which is recognised nationally as a leading set of chambers for company and commercial work. It will be a privilege working alongside my new colleagues in delivering specialist legal expertise on transactional and contentious company law and commercial matters."

Dominic also has a leading practice in shareholder and corporate governance disputes, including director defence work, and has been appointed to advise on various internal and governmental corporate investigations.

Kevin Hegarty QC, head of St Philips Chambers, said: "Dominic's arrival is a key appointment for our Chambers, he brings with him a unique area of expertise which perfectly complements our existing commercial and chancery offering and increases our civil practice group to 63 Barristers."
