Deepak Nambisan - Fountain Court Chambers
Deepak has acted in a number of the major commercial disputes of recent times, including Tajik Aluminium v Ermatov, AWG v Morrison, BAA v Ryanair, EIRC v Curzon and the Codelco litigation. He regularly appears as an advocate before the High Court, Court of Appeal and other tribunals and is equally comfortable acting as sole Counsel or as part of a larger team of barristers.
He is the co-author of Paolini & Nambisan on Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance (2008, Informa). The book is the first attempt to examine the duties owed by company directors and to match them against the coverage provided by D&O insurance policies, a topic of central relevance in light of the sub-prime market collapse and resulting credit crunch. Deepak is also the co-author of the chapter dealing with the liability of company directors in Simpson, Professional Negligence & Liability (2005-), described by the Professional Negligence Law Review as "a true rival to Jackson & Powell". In 2007-8 Deepak acted as legal advisor to the BBC1 drama series, Mistresses.
Deepak is recommended as a leading commercial barrister in The Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, Chambers Global Guide and Legal Experts. In 2007 he was listed by Legal Week as one of its "Stars at the Bar".
