Kit joined Edmonds Marshall McMahon in July 25, as a Partner in the firm’s civil litigation team. He has a broad commercial practice with particular expertise in company and shareholder disputes, professional negligence, insolvency litigation, and civil fraud. He acts for a diverse client base including hedge funds, state-owned enterprises, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, insolvency practitioners, entrepreneurs, brokerage firms, and commodities traders.
Kit has considerable experience in complex, high-value litigation before the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court, and has also appeared before the Abu Dhabi Global Market and the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts. His international practice includes conducting both ad hoc and LCIA arbitrations.
He acted for the successful appellant in Sevilleja v Marex Financial Ltd, a landmark decision of the Supreme Court that clarified and narrowed the scope of the reflective loss principle, allowing pure creditors of a company to bring claims in their own right.
Kit also represented the successful appellant at both first instance and on appeal in Medsted Associates Ltd v Canaccord Genuity Wealth (International) Ltd. The case provided important guidance on fiduciary duties owed by introducer brokers, confirming that while such duties exist, the disclosure of the existence (but not the amount) of commission payments did not constitute a breach.
He’s an active member of the legal community, sitting on the committee of the Commercial Fraud Lawyers Association and R3’s Contentious Insolvency and Creditors Forum.
