Areas of practice
Giles is essentially a commercial litigator and is noted in Chambers and Partners as a leader in his field. He has appeared at all levels up to and including the Court of Appeal.

Although rooted in Chancery, his practice has a particular emphasis on contentious insolvency and company work, professional negligence and banking litigation.

Contentious insolvency and company work includes: disqualification for the DTI disqualification unit and occasionally for the director; preference, misfeasance and other work for liquidators and other office holders including company administrations, corporate and individual voluntary arrangements and receivership problems; shareholders disputes; and individual bankruptcy work.

Professional negligence work is presently predominantly claimant orientated with occasional work for solicitors, surveyors and accountants.

Banking comprises litigation for several of the leading clearing and high street banks.
