Barlow Lyde & Gilbert has won a role defending LG in a £6.3m negligence claim – a spin-off case relating to former partner Michael Fielding – who stole £6m from client accounts.

The case, which began in the High Court yesterday (15 July), sees LG defend itself against the negligence claim brought by Sara Dayman – a bankruptcy trustee of Sandra Fielding. Dayman is pursuing LG to recover outstanding debts of Sandra Fielding.
