Richard Clayman
Richard’s experience covers a broad range of commercial disputes, acting for claimants and defendants, often in complex and multi-jurisdictional claims. Richard has considerable experience in obtaining and resisting orders for interim remedies before the English Court, including worldwide freezing orders, injunctions, security for costs and disclosure orders.
Richard successfully defended a number of English limited liability partnerships against an application brought under s.25 of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 by various entities owned by the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, which sought extensive interim relief in aid of high value proceedings before the courts of the Republic of Georgia and Ras Al Khaimah.
Richard’s practice also encompasses a broad range of board room and shareholder disputes involving claims between partners, shareholders, directors and/or their companies or any combination thereof. Many such cases involve substantial overseas investment into the jurisdiction.
