City firm Speechly Bircham has helped supermodel Elle Macpherson to secure victory in a court dispute involving liquidated bank Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (KSF).

Macpherson had taken KSF’s liquidators to the Isle of Man High Court, after they refused her request to ‘set off’ deposits she had with the bank against money owed by her Isle of Man nominee company to KSF for a mortgage on a London house.
