Legacy Denton Wilde Sapte and Travelers have launched a claim against the former head of Dentons’ India group in a bid to reclaim £779,000 worth of costs stemming from a 2009 court case.

The law firm and the insurer are suing Gauri Advani, who was a defendant alongside Dentons in a case brought by two of her former clients, in which Advani was alleged to have committed bribery.
