The Glasgow team of 6 was ably captained by Michael Clark and Edinburgh by Charlie Scott - 3 couples on each side - with Glasgow winning a closely fought match by two wins to one.
The day started with a bacon roll and finished with drinks at the bar, sponsored by GAC, and dinner in the club dining room at which a bottle ofchampagne was presented to the winning captain.
There was strong support for a repeat match next year in Edinburgh and even suggestions of widening the GAC golfing fixture list to Pebble Beach and possibly further afield!
A special thanks goes to Connie Simmers who organised the tournament.
Team Members:
GAC: Robert Kelsey, Jim Davis, Johnnie Cuthbert, Alan McNeilage, John Kingsley, Michael Clark.
SAC: Iain Currie, George Innes, Colin Munro, Terence Daintith, Allan Shaw, Charlie Scott.
The Huddersfield University graduate recently donated a dramatic oil painting, first shown as part of his degree show, named Fallen to his Alma Mater. The painting is now on permanent display in the University's Creative Arts Building. Sir Patrick Stewart attended the unveiling as his one of his final duties as Chancellor of Huddersfield University (a role which he has now handed to HRH The Duke of York).
Of the painting, Sir Patrick commented, "I have lusted after this painting since I first saw it more than 10 years ago! It made a big impact on me."
During the intervening years, the famous actor and the young artist have stayed in touch and Sir Patrick – now Chancellor Emeritus at the University – has purchased a number of works by Frank To, who used the actor's universally-recognisable face and features to depict the Roman poet Virgil in a dramatic series of paintings based on Dante's Inferno.
Donating his early work Fallen – which featured in his end-of-year coursework show in 2004 – meant that the painting had come full circle, said Frank.

GIA Design Awards 2015
The Glasgow Institute of Architects' Design Awards 2015 were announced on Friday 20 November. Congratulations to MAST Architects, responsible for the restoration and refurbishment of The Glasgow Art Club on winning The Conservation Award 2015. Yet another reason to be proud of our Club!
Restoration Update
The restoration and refurbishment project is now complete!
"The repair and restoration of the Club's building has now been completed. The architect issued his Certificate of Practical Completion on 27th February 2015. The entire envelope of the building, roof, walls and windows have been repaired or replaced, including the stonework, which has improved the exterior appearance of the building. An accessible toilet has been created on the ground floor. A new floor has been laid in the Gallery. The translucent plastic ceiling, which was installed in the Gallery in the 1950's and was not part of the original design, has been removed and replaced with a new clear, anti-glare glass lantern which greatly improves the lighting and the general appearance of the Gallery.
The replication of the frieze has also been completed. After extensive and painstaking research designs based on Mackintosh's original work have been approved by our panel of Mackintosh experts and installed by a decorator with special experience of this work.
With the Gallery re-opened and the frieze displayed to view there have been general expressions of approval and appreciation."
- Sheriff Iain MacMillan, April 2015.
"The Gallery has been completely refurbished. It was stripped back to the brick work, earth floor and the roof removed. It was rebuilt, repaired and restored to its original."
- Celia Sinclair, April 2015.

Glasgow Art Club elects new President
On February 11 2015, members of Glasgow Art Club elected Efric A McNeil as their new President.
To have been elected President of Glasgow Art Club is a great honour.
Women were first elected as members in 1984. Although I was not a member in my own right at that time, I visited the Club along with my late husband who first joined in the '70s.
My first introduction to Council was as Treasurer, a role well suited to me as I am a Chartered Accountant in practice with one of my daughters.
I am pleased that two of my three daughters are also members. Indeed, my architect daughter who was already a member proposed me along with Dr James Macaulay, a Past President.
The Club is unique in the city and the members, are an interesting and diverse group. Our artist members, 40% of whom are women, hold exhibitions in the Club on a regular basis.
It is an exciting time for the Club. The recent refurbishment has created a unique opportunity to engage with the public through guided tours and the education project for young people while maintaining its position in the city as one of the few remaining private members' clubs.
Efric A McNeil CA is a partner in a long established firm of chartered accountants, with a client base in the central belt of Scotland and Argyll. Before being elected President of Glasgow Art Club she served on the Council of the Club for six years, initially as Treasurer.
Efric's interests include late 19th and early 20th century architecture, the visual arts, renovation of the Picture House in Campbeltown, the preservation of historic buildings and the works of Neil Munro. In the past she has served on the Council of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. Her current appointments include, Trustee of The Willow Tearooms Trust and member of the Strathclyde Fundraising Committee of the Art Fund.
The Annual Business Meeting of the Club will be held in the Club on Wednesday 11 February 2015 at 6.30 p.m. As required by the Constitution and Rules of the Club, I am writing to draw your attention to the import of Article 26:
No resolution, unless it relates to the business introduced by the Council, shall be moved at an Annual Business Meeting unless a notice, signed by the members who propose to move and second it, and stating its terms, has been lodged with the Secretary not later than 31 December 2014.
As required by Article 20.1 of the Constitution and Rules, I hereby intimate that the following Office-Bearers fall to retire at the Annual Business Meeting in February 2015 and are not eligible for re-election:
President Mr Robert Kelsey
Lay Vice President Mrs Efric McNeil
Honorary Treasurer Mr John Mulhern
The following Office-Bearer falls to retire at the Annual Business Meeting in February 2015 and is eligible for re-election:
Artist Vice President Mr Joe Hargan
The following members of Council fall to retire at the 2015 Annual Business Meeting:
Professor Michael Healey (co-opted in 2014 and eligible for election)
Mr Frank To (Not eligible for election)
Article 20.2 of the Constitution and Rules requires members who desire to nominate a candidate or candidates for election (as Office-Bearers or Council Members) to deliver in writing to the Secretary not later than 31 December in each year a notice stating the name or names of those whom they nominate. The notice must, before delivery, be signed by the proposer and seconder for each candidate nominated, and must also bear the signature of the nominee as evidence of his or her consent to be nominated.

A Christmas message from the President
Dear Member,
There is an expression which states, "if you want something done, give it to a busy man."
I certainly fill the criteria for the "busy man" part of the saying as I always seem to be working towards one solo exhibition or another, and any leisure time quickly fills up with golf and travel. So taking on the Presidency of Glasgow Art Club was never going to be easy. Having said all that, it was such an honour and a privilege to hold this illustrious office that I jumped at the opportunity.
It is hard to believe that almost three years have passed since I took over the Office from Raymond Williamson, and a tricky three years they have been. You will recall that we were just entering the structural phase of our refurbishment programme, and major puzzles had to be solved regarding storing and repairing of gallery furniture. Fundraising for new furniture began, and a general battening down of the hatches commenced before the big gallery closed its doors for 18 months.
During this time my Council worked closely with the members of the Property Company who had the daunting task of seeing the huge project through to a successful conclusion.
My enduring memory of the last three years has been how well the Club has continued to flourish despite many inconveniences. The bar area became a little Bistro and our Billiard Room Gallery served our members well, catering for numerous exhibitions and functions.
I never heard anyone complain about the reduced size of the place, and it all seemed to be accepted with mutual good natured optimism. I would also like to add a word of thanks to our amazing members of staff who kept up a high level of efficiency throughout the project. What pleased me even more was the steady flow of new members who joined us over this period.
Now apart from a few finishing and decorating jobs to complete by the end of January 2015, those difficult days are firmly behind us, and we can enjoy our refurbished and redecorated Club premises. Celebration Dinners and Exhibitions are in full flow and Christmas festivities can be enjoyed within our warm and friendly Club.
I will be stepping down as President at the Annual Business Meeting in February and would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and friendship during my period in office.
Have a Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year.
Robert Kelsey
Glasgow Art Club
This November the magnificent Glasgow Art Club Gallery, once described by the late art historian Sir Kenneth Clark as, "one of the most perfect small galleries in Europe" will throw open its doors to the public following an extensive programme of refurbishment and restoration.
Closed since May of last year, the Gallery will be opened by Lord Macfarlane of Bearsden on the 22nd of November 2014. The Gallery has undergone a major £1.2 million transformation in partnership with Heritage Lottery Fund and Historic Scotland, and will be proudly showcased by key stakeholders at the launch event.
Of particular interest come the reopening in November will be the restoration of a hidden Charles Rennie Mackintosh frieze, discovered by Dr James Macaulay, retired head of architectural history at the Mackintosh School of Architecture. Painted in 1893, the stencilled artwork was Mackintosh's first major public work and the centrepiece of the club's gallery but due to its position under the eaves, where it sustained water damage, it was eventually plastered and painted over. The Club is resplendent with historically significant interior features including fireplaces, grilles and door fittings – all designed by a 25-year-old Charles Rennie Mackintosh who was working as an apprentice to John Keppie at the time. This replication is a main feature of the project and one of national significance and importance. To coincide with the reopening, Glasgow Art Club will mount a major exhibition featuring the work of Glasgow Art Club members, past and present. Works on display will range from those by William Denniston, EA Hornel, John Cunningham, John Lavery, Norman Kirkham, David Donaldson, Barbara Rae, George Henry, Harry Benson, Ken Howard, Robert Kelsey, Frank To, Joe Hargan, Hazel Nagl and Bet Low amongst many, many more.
"Visitors to the exhibition will be able to enjoy a rich thread of artistic excellence that transcends several decades of Contemporary Scottish Art, including the works of our younger, currently emerging artist members. Glasgow Art Club has a long and noble heritage and we should be proud that it continues to flourish, and provide an environment where our artist members display all the skills of those who have gone before them." Robert Kelsey, Glasgow Art Club President.
Glasgow Art Club would like to acknowledge the support of our lead exhibition sponsors Tilney Bestinvest. Paul Frame, Managing Director and Head of Tilney Bestinvest, Glasgow said: "The Glasgow Art Club is one of the city's iconic institutions and we are delighted to show the Club and its members our continued support. The damaged Mackintosh building and works of the Art School have found their place in many hearts this year and it is therefore great to be part of a good news story in the city. The completion of the refurbishment of the Art Club, in particular the main gallery and the reproduction of the Mackintosh frieze is something really worth celebrating. We look forward to seeing the gallery, the Mackintosh frieze and the works of Glasgow Art Club members showcased in all their glory now the renewal project is complete."
On Friday 30th June 2014 Glasgow Art Club was honoured to host the Rt Hon Lord Provost, Sadie Docherty who was joined by Glasgow's second citizen, Lord Dean of Guild, Raymond Williamson and Deacon Convener, Hamish C Brodie. The Lord Provost, with the assistance of Glasgow Art Club President, Robert Kelsey and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Paul Dowds, placed a time capsule under the floor of the magnificent Art Club Gallery, once described by the late art historian Sir Kenneth Clark as, "one of the most perfect small galleries in Europe."
This landmark and historic occasion presented a unique and meaningful opportunity to celebrate the past, present and future of Glasgow Art Club.
The capsule is to be unearthed 29 years from now (2043), to mark the 150th anniversary of our occupation of 185 Bath Street.

I use to go door to door in fact I was with the company for 8 years. Which mean I talked to alot of the same customers who have recieved therer magazines and will only buy from them because they dont want to make ED MCMAnn ANY RICHER. I have heard a couple of stories about people not getting there magazines, but I find it hard to believe!! Yes it does take awile to recieve the magazines as your reciept states and if you dont recieve them give them a call and I am quite sure your issue will be resolved!!! Also most of the young adults in the program are young adults from the inner city whom are working to better themselves and learn a work ethic!!! I guess many of you have forgotten that you had to start some where or maybe it was given to you!!! I don't know!! What i do know that is you are entitled to your complaint and your money back if you have not recieved your magazines, but dont down grade the company for helping young adults in providing them a chance because in coporate America you dont have the experience, well if we don't get the chance how will we get the experience!! Its not the best job in the world but it is a start in learning how to keep and maintain a positive attitude cause as long a people exist who forget where they came from and the rich keep making the rich rich we all will be messed up!!!

Daniel Sturridge got the only goal of the game shortly before half-time but Stoke missed a golden opportunity to pick up a point when Jonathan Walters' late penalty was saved by Simon Mignolet.
"You're disappointed because you think you're going to come away with a point," said Bowen.
"He's missed a couple in the past but he struck it well enough. I just thought the keeper made a good save.
"Jon Walters gives everything for this club, so nobody in the dressing room will do anything other than pick him up and get him ready for the next game."
Bowen had praise for his own goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who did more than enough to give the Potters a chance of snatching a point with a string of saves.
"I thought it was going to be a battle and the keeper kept us in it at times," he added.
"It was a case of staying in the game as long as you can because we are asking them to play a different kind of game and you hope they don't lose confidence, which I didn't think they did."

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post

LaCage celebrates 30 years of dancing, drag queens and nightlife
"Back in 1984, LaCage was a safe space for LGBT and LGBT-friendly people to meet, hang out and have fun while making new friends," said Kris Heindel, who has owned the club with Michael Jost since 2005. "LaCage remains a safe space and fun, but its value has been enhanced through the years by greater societal acceptance and welcoming everyone to the LaCage experience and what they have been missing."
A four-day celebration of the LaCage 30th anniversary begins Thursday, April 24, with an invitation-only party followed by a public party, including a display in the Montage Lounge upstairs showing artifacts from LaCage through the years. Crystal Waters entertains on Friday. »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Astronomer'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Like his story "Pigeon Feathers," Updike's "The Astronomer," published in 1961, deals with a crisis of faith. "Pigeon Feathers," written earlier but published a few months later than "The Astronomer," depicts a boy's loss of innocence about mortality and heaven. In "The Astronomer," 24-year-old Walter fears what effect an evening talking with an older, smarter friend will have on the shaky Rube Goldberg contraption of his belief construct. »Read Full Blog Post

Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore) and her husband, Frank (Dennis Quaid), are a seemingly perfect couple; living in a handsome suburban neighborhood in Hartford, CT, in 1957, Cathy and Frank have a beautiful home and two happy, healthy children, while Frank pursues a successful career in sales and Cathy cares for the home. But Cathy has begun to sense something isn't quite right in her marriage, as Frank begins working late, spending less time with her, and seems cold and distant. One day, Cathy visits Frank's work and discovers something she never expected -- her husband is kissing a man. At Cathy's urging, Frank undergoes psychotherapy, but as she tries to keep up a brave face, the emotional trauma takes a great toll on her, and she finds there are very few people she can talk with. Cathy strikes up a friendship with Raymond Deagan (Dennis Haysbert), an African-American gardener who works for the Whitakers, and as she discovers how intelligent and compassionate Raymond is, she finds herself drawn to him. However, Hartford is in many ways still a small town, and when Mona (Celia Weston) sees Cathy and Raymond alone together, it sets off a wave of vicious gossip that threatens to make the Whitakers' many secrets public knowledge. Far from Heaven premiered at the 2002 Venice Film Festival, where Julianne Moore's performance won the prize for Best Actress.

Acid Test For Veena Malik
Veena Malik, the Pakistani actress, who entered India to make it big in films, is heading for an acid test. Her debut Kannada movie Silk Sakkath Hot is hitting screens across the state today (August 2).
Her first assignment in India was Bigg Boss reality show and she garnered a lot of attention from the show. In the past, she has acted in a few Bollywood movies like Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai and Zindagi 50-50. But it did not give her a big break in Bollywood.
In the mean time, Veena Malik decided to shift her gears and looked for good offers from South film industries. This is when the Pakistani girl got a biggie in the form of Silk Sakkath Hot. It is simply because the film is a female-centric project even though she has to do a lot of skin shows. In the process, she has signed a few movies in other South film industries.
The hot and happening girl is now hoping that she will finally get the much-deserving break in Indian films. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...

I'm playing with both wptouch and gigpress on my site (interested in drop-down gigpress menu in wptouch header), and I'm finding that when both plugins are enabled, I can't get any pages or posts to display on my mobile phone. I get the wptouch header and can select pages to display, but there's no text or anything from any page. I tried it with the gigpress wptouch setting on and off and get the same results, only a disabling of the gigpress plugin allows wptouch to display pages properly.
Unrelated (I think), I was able to select tour dates and get gigpress to display something - is there a way to have it display gigs with the "group_artists" value set to "no" instead of the default "yes", so that all our dates appear at once?
- Fred.

De Buyer of France developed the Quintum to be the world's most advanced sharpening steel. This single steel offers five distinct stages of sharpening, from complete restoration of dull edges to daily honing. Its innovative diamond-coated technology produces the authentic "microteeth" so essential for a sharp, accurate edge, rather than simply roughening the edge temporarily—so razor-sharp results are longer lasting. The Quintum is easy to use, with accurate angle guides taking the guesswork out of using a sharpening steel.
The de Buyer family has been making cookware in the French town of Val-d'Ajol since 1830. The family-owned company originally crafted pots and cauldrons for cooking over a live fire using iron ore extracted from the region. Pairing modern technology with a timeless attention to quality, De Buyer still creates cookware in the classic French shapes and materials traditionally used in professional kitchens. In addition to copper and iron collections, the company also offers stainless-steel and nonstick lines to meet the needs of today's home cooks.

I had a new furnace installed in January. On 01/26 they removed the old one & spilled soot water which was tracked through my home. On 01/27/09 they installed the new one which gave off smoke & the heat couldn't be turned off, this was done by Air Flow in Milton, NY.
My four year old became very ill. I then became ill and it took all I had to take care of us. I called the installer who refused to handle the issue. I then tried to clean the mess but I am disabled and could only do so much. I then called Encompass on 02/19/09. The adjuster came four days after serve pro was cleaning & ordered them to removed the carpeting. My house is still torn apart. I'm forced to live in ruins. This is not fair. The adjuster stalled, was out sick with out coverage, took two uncovered vacations.
After calling his boss they promised to get money out for various things but only some came. For two weeks no one would return my phone call, then I finally got a call back saying that I couldn't be given any information by anyone other then Michelle Grossman, the investigator. She's also stalled. Now she wants me to give her access to everything about me, I told her I'd provide her with documents but since she's already harassed people who have done work in my home as well as slandering me in the process I feel it's better if I get the information instead having her destroy my credibility.
She's still stalling.
My house was ripped apart at Dave Bostrums orders. I allowed six full days for them to access my property and have been cooperative. I need help.

As proof they showed me webistes that belonged to their clients.
The even called me on the weekend and convinced me that they were genuine and in June I paid them $9400 as was eager to get started.
By July I was calling and emailing to get things moving. I spoke to the web designer, and went over my ideas, as I had with the marketing person for a dynamic site with commercial type video. He asked me to direct him to a site like the one I had in mind and I did so.
By September my site was still not ready. I was given over to a technician. Who then guided me through search engine details and product entry details, this was very time consuming and distracting. I started asking for my money back.
In November a rushed attempt was made to produce and publish a site with many errors. It required lots of fixes. The designer admits that it was not a practice to put video on a site...SO AGAIN I ASKED FOR A REFUND.
by December I cannot reach anyone by phone and am not getting email responses....there is a new messaging system without a human to speak to. More importantly, I am being charged $139.99 for hosting. I ask to terminate any further charges and disable the site.
Captures.com, Visible.net, Webmaketingsource.com is not forthright in their business practices. They market and contract terms that they do not fulfill and they will not refund you when they make a error or fall short of their promises.
Based on my experiences, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH VISIBLE.NET.

Time does not stand still for London's commercial Bar. At the time of research, Iain Milligan QC of 20 Essex Street was in the process of hanging up his wig. Milligan was a long-time mainstay of the top tier and considered by some solicitors to be the 'best advocate on his feet'. The market will miss him, but there is clearly plenty of new blood coming through. In 2015, 15 of our recommended juniors took silk, following on from 13 in 2014. Whether they achieve the same level of success as Milligan and his generation of super silks remains to be seen. Already, there is an impressive cadre of QCs vying for the top spot, who are increasingly seen as a more popular alternative to some of the old favourites charging eye-watering sums of money. It seems likely that in five years' time the top tier could start looking very different.
3 Verulam Buildings is an 'excellent commercial set', which is 'extremely well placed for the future with such an enviable younger generation of barristers'. Members at all levels have been involved in some of the biggest cases to hit the market in recent times, notably VTB Capital v Nutritek and Plevin v Paragon Personal Finance, which went to the Supreme Court, and also the £2.2bn Vincent Tchenguiz v Grant Thornton case. Clients appreciate that 'the clerks will go the extra mile to assist, even on a Friday evening'.
One Essex Court
One Essex Court is right at the very top of the commercial litigation market. Barristers here appear for a broad spectrum of parties in a significant amount of the major commercial litigation that passes through the UK Courts. From short procedural hearings and injunctions to large, complex trials, barristers at One Essex Court are sought after for their powerful intellects, market leading advocacy skills and 'commercial' good judgment.
Brick Court Chambers is 'one of the best sets', housing 'a collection of brain boxes'. Major cases often involve multiple members, including UBS v KWL, Depfa and LBBW which involved seven barristers. At the top end, Mark Howard QC and Mark Hapgood QC appeared against each other in Akers v Samba Financial Group that is going to the Supreme Court. Overall, chambers comprises a 'first-rate team of members and clerks'.
Essex Court Chambers is 'very strong across the board' and appreciated for its 'very proactive clerks' and 'excellent service'. The chambers has been particularly active in major fraud cases, such as Otkritie v Urumov & Ors, and is also first choice for commercial disputes that go to international arbitration.
Fountain Court Chambers is an 'excellent commercial set with real strength in depth at all levels of experience' and a 'go-to set for substantial commercial disputes of any kind'. Work highlights included Tchenguiz and others v SFO and the Fiona Trust litigation, which went to the Court of Appeal. Clients are quick to praise the 'excellent service' from the clerks.
One Essex Court is 'a go-to set for large- scale commercial litigation and fraud cases'. It has 'excellent counsel available at short notice even when the familiar choice is busy'. Case highlights included Victor Mikhaylovich Pinchuk v Igor Valeryevich Kolomoisky and McKillen v Misland and Others.
7 King's Bench Walk is 'perhaps best known for its insurance expertise, but it is impressive too in the general commercial and energy spheres'. Members have been involved on some colossal cases, including Excalibur Ventures v Texas Keystone and Gulf Keystone. As well as the barristers, clients recommend the 'highly professional and accommodating clerks'.
Blackstone Chambers is 'a first-rate commercial set offering a splatter of leading juniors and silks'. It leads the pack for cases involving elements of public law as reflected in its members' representation of the SFO in its dispute with the Tchenguiz brothers that settled in July 2014. Barristers are also involved in the high profile Otkritie v Urumov & Ors.
Maitland Chambers is 'a top-of-the-tree Chancery set, however it is also very fine for commercial law'. Clients rate its combination of 'creative, user-friendly QCs with bright and highly dedicated juniors'. Highlight cases include Dar al Arkan and Ors v Al Refai and Ors and JSC BTA Bank v Mukhtar Ablyazov.
Serle Court is 'particularly strong in company, finance, civil fraud and contentious trust work' but 'has really raised its profile in major commercial litigation in recent years'. 'There is a wide range of counsel to choose from, and there is particular strength among juniors at all levels.' Key cases include JSC BTA Bank v Mukhtar Ablyazov and JSC Mezhdunarodniy Bank & Anr v Sergei Pugachev.
4 Stone Buildings has a top-notch reputation for major Chancery, insolvency and commercial litigation disputes, and boasts a selection of top silks regularly instructed on market-leading cases such as JSC BTA Bank v Mukhtar Ablyazov and Constantin Medien v Ecclestone.
11 Stone Buildings is 'particularly user friendly', and 'first rate for commercial litigation and insolvency matters'. Members are 'all bright, enthusiastic, pragmatic and never stuffy', and the set has 'a number of promising juniors'. Key cases involving numerous members include Rosserlane v Credit Suisse.
20 Essex Street is a top choice for major shipping, commodities and general commercial disputes. Three members appeared in the high-profile multi-party Alexandros T dispute in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.
Erskine Chambers has 'a number of excellent juniors for commercial litigation and fraud work' and is an undisputed leader in cases with a company law element. Stephen Smith QC and Tim Akkouh are a very strong recommendation for fraud-related matters and were both involved in JSC BTA Bank v Mukhtar Ablyazov.
Quadrant Chambers is 'the go-to set for international trade work' where clerks and barristers are 'keen to form long-term relationships with clients'. A particular highlight was advising on the oil pipeline dispute Government of Sudan v Republic of South Sudan and Ors in the Commercial Court.
South Square is 'unbelievably strong on the insolvency side but also fantastic on more general commercial litigation'. Broader commercial litigation highlights include roles on Constantin Medien v Ecclestone and Leni Gas Oil Investments v Malta Oil Pty.
Wilberforce Chambers is 'absolutely first rate' and an 'excellent set for offshore financial, trusts and insolvency work'. 'The top-notch barristers are well supported by clerks who are always willing to help.' Key disputes include Ackerman v Ackerman.
XXIV Old Buildings provides 'a very effective and first-class service'. The set is 'always responsive and has a good pool of junior barristers who are competitively priced'. The barristers are famous for their offshore expertise, as illustrated by roles on cases such as Al Sadik v Investcorp Bank in the Cayman Islands.
4 Pump Court is the 'best IT and outsourcing set', and its 'stable of talent is fantastic'. A major case in this regard was Fujitsu Services v IBM UK. Clients particularly rate the 'helpful, courteous and hardworking' clerks.
Enterprise Chambers is a 'great set for general commercial litigation and insolvency', and has 'quality counsel available at all levels'. Clients also report that the 'clerks bend over backwards to ensure that someone can pick up urgent work'.
Littleton Chambers is 'receptive, helpful and very accommodating on price and availability'. 'The chambers' practice of having designated junior counsel to deal with urgent court applications is invaluable.'
