Dorsey & Whitney

The Firm: This practice is thriving under the leadership of Nick Burkill and the group has expanded with a number of lateral hires in 2006. Increased activity on the US side of the practice, particularly in New York and Minneapolis, has resulted in a dramatic increase in the volume of instructions the London office has received. Clients highlight the firm’s involvement in the Anti-Fraud Network as “invaluable ,” particularly in offshore jurisdictions, France, South Africa, Australia and the USA. Over the past year the team was approved by TNT Express to advise on all their internal investigations worldwide. Nick Burkill is favoured by clients for being “great at knowing the ins and outs of the case,” while peers praise him as being a “true gentleman in litigation .” He has recently undertaken multi-jurisdictional fraud proceedings based in Norway.
