Barnaby Stueck's practice is concentrated on multijurisdictional commercial litigation and arbitration, with particular emphasis on complex fraud, asset tracing and enforcement, contentious insolvency, and investment fund disputes.
Chambers describes Barnaby as "superb technically," "the man for complex international stuff," "his strategy is excellent," and the "real deal in terms of asset tracing work." Barnaby is a leader in the Firm's top tier civil fraud and enforcement practice, referred to as "probably the best fraud team in London." The Legal 500 describes him as "fantastic on anything with an insolvency angle." His clients are predominantly fund managers, their investors, corporates, ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), and insolvency practitioners.
His recent caseload has involved acting for an oil trading company in US$300m proceedings against former directors for unlawful means conspiracy; acting for Project Today in its defense of high-profile proceedings and search orders brought by Ocado; advising a major creditor of the Abraaj private equity group in relation to complex, cross-border claims against Cayman Islands fund entities; advising British Virgin Islands (BVI) liquidators of a substantial limited partnership in relation to its dissolution, restructuring, and related litigation; acting for a private equity fund in arbitration proceedings against its placement agent; and obtaining a $450m judgment for the liquidators of Weavering Capital, the failed hedge fund manager, in their fraud proceedings against former directors and employees.
Barnaby leads the Firm's offshore disputes team. His recent cases have involved most of the offshore jurisdictions, United Arab Emirates (UAE), France, Turkey, Italy, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Serbia, Switzerland, and Russia.
