EXPERTISE

BANKING & FINANCE

Successfully managing disputes in the financial institutions sector requires a broad range of skills and experience. We act for a wide range of banks, building societies and financial institutions. Our work in this area involves litigation and dispute resolution claims.

Our expertise includes secured and unsecured recoveries, mortgage repossession, fraud and indemnity liability, title and security issues, constructive trust claims, breach of trust, professional negligence, as well as more general commercial disputes in the financial institutions sector.

We work with clients in managing such disputes by providing robust, timely and thorough advice on regulatory, legal and reputational issues. We understand that in today’s commercial reality, one dispute can impact upon a reputation – it is our job to make sure that the risk of this occurring is minimised or neutralised.

We will also manage the risks of any litigation which may ensue by developing an appropriate and cost-effective dispute resolution strategy.

We have the experience and expertise to manage the full spectrum of disputes including high profile, complex multi-jurisdictional disputes, class actions, regulatory investigations and disputes and government inquiries.
