ABOUT ANDREW DE MESTRE
My practice covers commercial and commercial/chancery litigation, insolvency, company law, financial services and general contractual matters. I regularly appear in the Chancery Division and the Commercial Court as well as before arbitral tribunals. In March 2020 I appeared in one of the first High Court trials to take place remotely following the first Covid-19 lockdown. Since then, among other things, I have conducted a successful remote 6-day appeal in the Court of Appeal (GEHC v Gray) and acted for the claimants in an expedited 7-day hybrid trial of preliminary issues (Travelport v WEX).I took Silk in 2019 having previously been named as the Company/Insolvency Junior of the Year at the Chambers UK Bar Awards 2017. I am recommended by Chambers & Partners in four practice areas: Chancery: Commercial, Commercial Dispute Resolution, Fraud: Civil and Restructuring/Insolvency; and by the Legal 500 in Banking and Finance, Fraud: Civil, Company and partnership, and Insolvency/Corporate Recovery.The 2021 edition of Chambers & Partners says: “Very smart and produces high-quality drafting.” “He is very user-friendly, with good strategic judgement, and he has an impressive recollection of complicated detail.” (Commercial dispute resolution); “An expert in cases concerning dishonesty, negligence and fraudulent misrepresentation, he is proficient at tracing and recovering misappropriated assets (Fraud: Civil: 2021 Edition); “He is a very thoughtful barrister; he’s understated, but he always has the right answer.
