Frederick Alliott
Fred is a commercial barrister specialising in complex, high-value commercial litigation and arbitration. His broad practice has a particular focus on civil fraud, insurance and reinsurance, energy, international trade and carriage of goods, professional negligence and shipping disputes. He is used to appearing on his own as well as working as part of large multi-counsel teams.
Fred is frequently instructed in cases involving allegations of dishonesty, corruption and other serious misconduct. He is developing a reputation as being highly experienced in this area: recent led work has included four separate multi-million-dollar fraud actions, two of which resulted in lengthy commercial court trials, as well as ongoing $1bn worldwide freezing order proceedings (with associated jurisdictional challenge). He also acts in international arbitrations, both ad hoc and under a variety of rules (LCIA, ICC, SCC, LMAA, GAFTA, etc.) as well as in court in aid of arbitral proceedings and concerning the enforcement or challenge of arbitration awards.
Fred is delighted to accept instructions in any type of commercial dispute, whether alone or being led.
