We provide insight on evolving financial services regulation

Our clients include financial institutions, national and international companies that offer financial products, individuals and authorised individuals, investment houses, regulators, leading investment banks, insurers, insurance intermediaries and reinsurers.

We assist clients in navigating the complex and ever evolving financial services regulatory environment and assist in managing cross-border compliance and risk.

We have a close relationship with a wide range of financial services regulators, with many of the team having worked in those organisations, which means we understand the challenges our clients face.

Our financial services team has significant experience in advising on complex disputes relating to financial instruments and banking litigation. We act for regulated firms and individuals, both for and against the regulators.

Our team also specialises in fraud and asset recovery actions.
