Esther Thomas

I have a particular with a focus on complex and multi-jurisdiction fraud, injunctions, asset recovery and enforcement, as well as shareholder and directors' duties disputes.  I am also experienced in contractual disputes and competition law claims.

I specialise in obtaining measures to injunct the proliferation of, and retrieve, stolen confidential information. I obtained a landmark first digital 'newcomer injunction' for the claimant in AQA Education v Persons Unknown, an extremely broad injunction which injuncts any individual in the UK from accessing, sharing, or selling the claimant's confidential examination materials.

I also have particular expertise in disputes relating to crypto and digital assets and have acted for clients in multiple actions to recover stolen crypto currency.
