Simon Atkinson

Barrister at Wilberforce Chambers

Speaker

Simon is an experienced and in demand practitioner, specialising in trusts and estates work (onshore and offshore), property and commercial litigation, and professional negligence work.

Known for his approachable manner, technical knowledge and his commercial and frank advice, Simon believes that the giving of practical and clear advice, combined with persuasive and fearless Courtroom advocacy and an eye for detail, are qualities which clients rightly demand and which he brings to the cases on which he is instructed.

Simon is regularly instructed in complex, multi-party and multi-jurisdictional cases. Recent instructions with an international element have concerned matters in Hong Kong, Singapore, the Channel Islands, Bermuda, Trinidad and Tobago, the British Virgin Islands, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. He has particular experience of disputes concerning assets and/or parties based in the Middle East.

As well as appearing in the higher courts in England and Wales, he acts in alternative dispute resolution processes. He also accepts instructions to act as an expert in expert determinations.

Simon is ranked in both Chambers and Partners and in The Legal 500.
