News and current affairs for those working within Higher Education Institutions
I am a Partner, Board member and Head of Insurance & Financial Services at Bevan Brittan.
I specialise in all forms of dispute resolution including complex High Court litigation, arbitrations, and mediations and complaints. I also lead the firm’s Insolvency and Corporate Recovery team. I have a particular interest in Higher Education and Financial Services and act for a number of HEIs, financial services business and regulators and other public sector bodies in resolving complex commercial, regulatory and public law disputes. I specialise in claims involving large groups of clients and advise on all aspects of litigation and alternative dispute resolution. My work often encompasses jurisdictional issues and cross-border elements in particular where elements of fraud and/or mis-selling and associated insolvencies are involved.
She is the consummate professional and she is great at understanding the bigger strategic picture.
Virginia is always thinking about the client and the next steps.
