Victoria Green joined Chambers in October 2023 and has developed a busy practice across the full range of work at the Commercial Bar.
Much of her practice involves an international element, raising questions of jurisdiction and the conflict of laws. At present, she is acting on a complex multi-party civil fraud case; an auditor’s negligence case which has recently been listed for the longest trial ever to take place in the DIFC, and collective proceedings seeking to recover damages for abuse of a dominant position.
Prior to coming to the Bar, Victoria practised as a solicitor in the disputes teams of Herbert Smith Freehills and Travers Smith, working in both London and Tokyo. She also worked as a Judicial Assistant in the Commercial Court, assisting Butcher J and Waksman J. As part of this, she assisted Waksman J during the 12-week trial of Eurasion Natural Resources Company v Dechert LLP & Ors [2022] EWHC 1138 (Comm), a case which concerned allegations of breach of contract / fiduciary duties on the part of a solicitor and procuring breach of contract / misfeasance in a public office on the part of the Serious Fraud Office.
