Litigation for Financial Services

Our dispute resolution team is an integral part of the firm’s business practice and financial services sector group. We appreciate that in complex disputes it is business critical for clients to be able to access clear, responsive and practical advice based on in-depth knowledge of the legal, regulatory and business environments in which our financial services clients operate.

We recognise that many disputes in financial services will be high-profile and have the risk of adverse reputational harm to our clients - we work with our clients to mitigate those risks and to adopt effective strategies to secure the best outcome. Our team is also highly experienced in assisting our clients with handling regulatory investigations and enforcement action when necessary.

Where it is not possible to resolve disputes without the need for litigation then our team will both commence and defends claims on behalf of our client in the High Court. Our team also has substantial experience in specialist proceedings before the FSA's Regulatory Decisions Committee and the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) together with dealing with disputes through arbitration and mediation.

Currently we act for a whole host of firms and individuals in the financial sector including corporate finance advisory firms, AIM nominated advisers, brokerages, IFAs, institutional investors, investment firms, insurance market participants, individual FSA approved persons and many others. Our dispute resolution team include former FSA staff which provides an invaluable advantage to our clients in the sector.
