Jack Bradley-Seddon

Jack Bradley-Seddon is an experienced commercial litigator with a commercial focus who works with Bailey Glasser International.

 With a dual background in litigation and litigation funding, Jack worked on a range of commercial litigation cases as a litigator in the London office of U.S. law firm Akin Gump, where the most consequential matters were at stake for the client.

 These matters of consequence included:

•  Client reputation – such as successfully defending Robert Foresman, the then Vice-Chairman of UBS, against allegations he knowingly took part in a rigged auction of Russian oil assets (The Lawyer Top 20 Case);
•  Client safety – such as acting for the billionaire founder of a US based hedge fund in applications for the protection of personal information under the UK regime for People with Significant Control, together with associated Judicial Review proceedings against the UK Government; and
• Client capital – such as defending an international oil conglomerate in an UNCITRAL arbitration against allegations it manipulated the sale and marketing of base oil under a contract with a state-owned oil company in the Middle East.

During his time in litigation funding Jack took ownership for real-world outcomes rather than simply giving advice. He dealt directly with the C-suite at a range of organisations.

This focus on real-world outcomes included developing a fine-tuned sense of risk, combining litigation instincts with commercial judgment. He also understands the critical importance for clients of being cost-effective.

Jack carries this mindset and approach into his work as a litigator, working in partnership with clients to do whatever it takes to achieve the real-world outcome.

Jack holds an MA in Jurisprudence from St John’s College, Oxford University. He also holds an MBA from Pembroke College, Cambridge University.
