Signature Litigation acted for Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) on several high profile matters. These include a costs claim against alleged overcharging by Dechert LLP regarding a £16m legal bill – in January 2017, the High Court ruled that the dispute would proceed to a full costs hearing for the fees accrued – and a civil claim brought by the Serious Fraud Office regarding legally privileged material, relating to the SFO’s investigation into allegations of corruption and bribery. The latter was recognised as one of The Lawyer’s top 20 cases of 2017, and the ruling suggests that privileged material will be very difficult to claim in regards to internal investigations.
