As Head of the Civil Restraint and Insolvency Team Navinder has recently advised a variety of high profile clients on insolvency and restructuring issues, providing bespoke and pro-active advice to both directors and investors.

Since 2003 Navinder has lead teams of Solicitors in civil restraint and confiscation proceedings. During this time, he has advised a wide range of clients including a Saudi billionaire, corporate entities and family members of defendants, whose assets have become innocently entangled in alleged criminality.

He is regularly instructed by Insolvency Practitioners, Trustees in Bankruptcy and has pursued a large number of successful actions on their behalf. He is an accredited member of the Insolvency Practitioners Association.

Navinder is also an experienced commercial litigator who has handled claims on behalf of high net worth individuals, multinationals and nation states. He is involved in a broad range of complex litigation matters ranging from contractual and property to professional negligence disputes.

In addition, Navinder is an expert on conditional fee arrangements, legal costs insurance and disputes surrounding costs. As a result, he provides strategic contributions on many of the firm's high value claims and advises, where appropriate, on alternative funding options to maximise clients' ability to pursue litigation costs effectively.
