At 2TG our people are hard-working, forward-thinking and approachable. We believe our supportive culture is one of our greatest strengths.
With the set comprising around 60 barristers, we know each other well and work effectively together. We often operate in large teams with clients. Our practice management team is modern and commercial, matching barrister experience thoughtfully to clients’ requirements.
At 2TG our barristers are expert in a broad range of complementary practice areas and we enjoy repeat instructions from a variety of loyal clients.
Practised advocates from the start, all our Silks and the vast majority of our Junior barristers are recognised as leaders in their chosen fields. Many of us are at the forefront of shaping the law in our specialist areas and we pride ourselves in having excellent industry knowledge.
At 2TG our barristers have excellent experience acting across a range of industry sectors and we are able to offer advice in an informed and commercial context.
Our combination of practice area excellence and industry expertise means we possess real insight into the commercial realities facing our clients operating in these areas. Secondment plays an important part of our commitment to developing our skills and understanding.
2TG is home to award-winning accredited mediators, arbitrators, adjudicators and experts with considerable experience of alternative dispute resolution.
Our barristers are also skilled as advocates in different alternative dispute resolution procedures and work strategically with clients to understand their commercial objectives, and then to resolve litigation as cost-effectively and expeditiously as possible.
Work with an international dimension forms a significant part of many barristers’ work at 2TG.
We appear in international courts and arbitral tribunals all over the world, frequently acting on complex multi-jurisdictional disputes. We are particularly well-known for managing cross border litigation on matters of jurisdiction and applicable law and appear regularly in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
At 2TG, in addition to our professional advice, we are recognised for our excellent contribution to education and development. We provide regular high-quality training.
Our reputation among the legal profession and other clients for our first-rate webinars and in-person conferences is very important to us. We also contribute frequently at industry events and as editors of leading texts and authors on topics of legal interest.
At 2TG, we have a formidable reputation for handling complex civil fraud claims and cases involving high value asset recovery and injunctive relief. Our advocates appear in courts and arbitral tribunals in the UK and offshore.
We advise on claims involving bribery, deceit, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary duty, dishonest assistance, knowing receipt, conspiracy and conversion. Expertise also extends to money laundering issues on behalf of government agencies and financial institutions.
In relation to high value asset recovery claims, we are expert, in particular, at tracing claims with a multi-jurisdictional element. We are also used to working at short notice in obtaining, resisting or discharging urgent injunctive relief and other pre-emptive and interim relief, such as freezing injunctions, search orders and Norwich Pharmacal orders.
Many of our juniors have excellent experience before the Courts as sole counsel in this regard and they are instructed routinely to identify, freeze and recover funds fraudulently misappropriated, acting in many urgent without notice and freezing order applications (often worldwide) and linked Norwich Pharmacal disclosure applications.
At 2TG, we are able to draw on experience gained in other related areas of practice, such as in conflict of laws and private international law cases, where cross-border claims are in issue, as well as issues relating to insurance, particularly concerning fraudulent claims. Clients value the specialist expertise these synergies can bring to cases.
At 2TG the civil fraud work is combination of privately funded and insurer-backed cases. The latter benefits from the set’s excellent links with the insurance market and insurance law firms. It has been an increasingly important crossover in light of upward trends in fraud relating to cyber and fidelity.
