FIND OUT MORESignature Litigation today announces the appointment of leading international fraud partner Catherine Naylor, who joins its offices in London from Gowling WLG.
Catherine brings nearly 20 years’ experience to Signature advising on complex, high-value and multi-jurisdictional civil fraud matters and asset tracing, as well as offshore trusts and insolvency litigation. Her practice has a strong international dimension, with particular expertise in matters relating to Brazil, the US and in the Caribbean. Catherine also handles high-stakes litigation and commercial arbitration, from advising pre-action right through to full trial and beyond to the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
At Gowling, Catherine led its fraud, asset recovery, trusts and contentious insolvency offering. She also headed the firm’s Channel Islands and Brazil country desks. Catherine is a member of ICC FraudNet, further strengthening Signature’s reach in fraud, asset recovery and cross-border disputes.
Catherine also brings valuable commercial insight, having spent over four years working in a commercial environment prior to qualifying as a lawyer, including roles involving crisis management and internal communications.
Commenting on her appointment, Catherine said: “Signature has built a formidable reputation for handling complex, high-stakes disputes, and I look forward to working with the dynamic and highly regarded team across its offices to strengthen that offering further. I am particularly excited at the opportunity to further deepen Signature’s ties with international markets like Brazil, where disputes often carry a strong fraud and investigations dimension.”
Partner Graham Huntley commented: “First and foremost, Catherine is absolutely the kind of practitioner that we want in our community. She will be part of our commercial litigation team, providing invaluable and in demand services in the complex fraud and asset recovery insolvency arenas.”
Signature now comprises 27 Partners and over 100 members across its offices in London, Paris, Frankfurt and Gibraltar.
