We handle every kind of investigation for banks and other financial institutions around the world. We have lawyers who focus exclusively on contentious financial services in every major financial centre.
Our global client base covers the full range of financial institutions. This brings us into contact with all the main regulators around the world, and gives us experience of a huge breadth of regulatory issues. While many of our cases involve the UK Financial Conduct Authority and UK Prudential Regulation Authority, we also have extensive experience of many other authorities and investigation agencies around the world.
We have long-standing, positive relationships with the regulators; they know us well and therefore we start from a position of mutual respect and trust, which assists our clients in their regulatory dealings. We understand the particular nuances of handling the sensitive relationships between our clients and their regulator, and the importance of constructive and positive engagement with them.
We think strategically about each case in order to resolve the situation on the best possible terms for our clients. Our clients trust us with their most significant regulatory problems: we frequently handle cases which have implications across the firm, or significant ramifications across the entire industry.
We are at the cutting edge, and have been involved in many of the major contentious regulatory issues in the financial services market over the past two decades. We have an impressive track record, particularly in extracting our clients from regulatory situations without disciplinary action or publicity.
