Our Experience

Below are recent examples of matters we have advised upon:

• Our client was a trader on the LIFFE whose employer sought to impose a penalty reducing his entitlement to commission on profit which he had earned for the employer as a result of trading. We were able to obtain judgment against the employer for sums in the region of £500,000 reversing the imposed penalty.
