Sophie Eyre

Partner at Bird & Bird (UK)

Speaker

Sophie is a partner and co-head of our International Dispute Resolution Group, as well as the London team. She specialises in complex disputes, often of a cross border nature, and has particular expertise in matters involving fraud.

Heading-up Bird & Bird's fraud team, Sophie has considerable experience in obtaining urgent remedies both in the UK and overseas to trace and preserve assets, asset recovery and in the recovery and protection of trade secrets. Fraud is not sector-focused and can hit businesses when and where they least expect.

Sophie conducts proceedings at all levels of the English Court, in major arbitration, and in Courts in the BVI, Gibraltar, and the Isle of Man. She also has extensive experience of ADR techniques including mediation.

In recent years, together with her team, Sophie has been recognised in Who's Who of Asset Recovery 2013-2018, nominated for FT Innovative Disputes Team Award 2015, Asset Recovery Team of the Year 2015 (Lawyer Monthly) and Asset Recovery Team UK 2014 & 2015 (Finance Monthly).
