Spencer Wright is the Founding Director of Gibbs Wright Litigation Lawyers and has been recognised in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch every year from 2023 to 2027. He is regularly engaged by companies and individuals across a broad range of high-stakes litigation disputes.
Professional background
Spencer practises exclusively in commercial litigation, and over the course of his career has overseen and engaged with thousands of disputes across a wide range of issues. He has a particular focus on breach of contract and financial disputes (including fraud, investments, and loans), and regularly acts for business owners, property developers, investors, and high-net-worth individuals.
Approach to litigation
Spencer’s approach to litigation is strategic, evidence-driven, and focused on outcomes that make commercial sense. He works to identify the key issues in a dispute early, assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of each party’s position, and develop a clear litigation strategy directed at either resolution or, where appropriate, preparing the matter for trial.
Clients value Spencer’s direct communication style and his willingness to provide considered, practical recommendations. He works closely with clients to understand their broader business and personal objectives, so that each step in the litigation process can be weighed against the risks, costs and potential benefits involved.
