Ben Morris advises clients on complex commercial litigation with a particular focus on fraud and contentious insolvency. He acts for funds, financial institutions, and insolvency officeholders in high-value, multijurisdictional disputes. Ben was recognized by the Legal 500 as a "key lawyer" in 2025 and 2026.
Ben's notable recent experience includes acting for a Luxembourg fund in two separate high-profile proceedings across several jurisdictions arising from Spanish loan agreements and the enforcement of related obligations; successfully advising a Middle Eastern bank in defending against an unprecedented fraud conducted via arbitration enforcement proceedings in the Commercial Court; advising a UK-listed company on novel duty of care claims; and acting for the liquidators of a multinational manufacturing company in obtaining emergency injunctive relief and a successful trial judgment.
Ben also works closely with the Firm's business restructuring team and has been a part of several high-profile reorganizations, including in recent years the restructuring and sale of the Waldorf Group, and the Scheme of Arrangement implemented by Greensands Financing as part of the wider restructuring of the Southern Water Group.
