Weil Gotshal & Manges and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan have secured wins for their respective clients in a High Court action against the billionaire Barclay brothers over control of London-based hotels the Berkeley, the Connaught and Claridge’s.
Handing down judgment this morning (8 August) Mr Justice David Richards dismissed claims brought by Irish property developer Patrick McKillen that the Barclay brothers, companies controlled by them or directors, used unfair or prejudicial means to try to take control of Coroin – the hotels’ holding company – bypassing McKillen’s right to buy more shares.
