Carl Arreghini

I help clients resolve commercial disputes through High Court litigation, international arbitration, mediation, and negotiation. I assist with matters concerning breach of contract, shareholder and partnership disputes, insolvency claims (both corporate and personal), fraud and breach of trust.

I often act for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, directors, shareholders, insolvency practitioners and private companies across various sectors, including manufacturing, property, energy, technology, and finance.

I have a pragmatic approach and aim to steer clients through disputes effectively and efficiently.

Outside of work, I am usually exercising, travelling, or watching Manchester United when I get the chance.

• Defending a German manufacturer in a breach of contract claim relating to the supply of renewable energy products to a UK development. The dispute settled shortly before trial.
• Acting for a claimant in a partnership dispute. Successfully obtained judgment at trial.
• Representing defendant developers at trial in a dispute concerning covenants against construction. The parties ultimately resolved matters by agreement.
• Acting for a large private equity fund regarding a contested non-party disclosure application, which required careful management in setting up and using a complex confidentiality club. Numerous days of a substantial trial were ordered to be heard in private to protect the client’s confidential information.

• Acting for a respondent to ICC arbitration proceedings concerning a dispute arising out of a stock purchase agreement.
• Advising a high-net-worth French national on a significant civil fraud claim involving multiple jurisdictions across Europe and the US.

• Acting for a defendant director in a substantial breach of fiduciary duty claim brought by the liquidators of an insolvent company.
• Representing a restaurant group in an HMRC investigation, which ultimately settled. The matter also involved the successful defence of winding-up proceedings brought against the client companies.
• Defending a high-net-worth individual in bankruptcy proceedings brought by multiple creditors regarding significant sums of money. Following a number of adjournments of the petition, the proceedings were dismissed by consent.
