Mr Castledine was previously a counsel at Clifford Chance – and has over 15 years of domestic and international experience acting for major multinational corporates, investment and retail banks, funds, leading private companies, governments, professional services firms, insurers and company directors, often in relation to high-profile, corporate-threatening or reputational disputes. His practice spans the full spectrum of contentious disciplines, including complex commercial litigation (including class actions) in all major Australian jurisdictions, arbitration, regulatory investigations, enforcement proceedings and contentious insolvency work.
