She is the go-to counsel for some of the most important global institutions and her experience lies in high profile and complex cases for hedge funds, private equity funds, institutional investors, and corporations.

With a portfolio encompassing high-stakes business disputes, including distressed and sovereign debt investments, special situations, emerging markets, complex finance arrangements and restructurings, she has a reputation as being one of the leading litigators of the most important investor disputes of the last twenty years.

Described as “one of the strongest litigators in the UK”, “a real powerhouse”, “one of the best in the business”, “a phenomenal lawyer” and “a first rate litigator” who clients “adore”, Natasha is resourceful and creative; her experience across the board providing strategic litigation advice on an international level is second to none. With winning results across high-stakes litigation, clients describe her as being “in the top drawer of litigators in the City”, a “relentless advocate”, “extremely strategically minded” and a “leader in marketplace” who “commands huge amount of respect” and “leads with fierce intellect and clarity”. She is further described by clients as “tough, robust, creative and thoughtful”, with “fantastic insight” who “takes control and has enormous respect from clients and colleagues alike”.
