Banking and Financial Services

Our barristers are instructed in banking and financial services disputes, including in relation to financial products, swaps and derivatives, securities, guarantees and bonds, consumer credit, banking fraud, investment schemes and business and project finance disputes.

Our barristers also act and advise in all areas of financial services regulation, including in challenges to the decisions of regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

Our barristers act for banks and other financial institutions and lenders, regulated firms and individuals, investors and hedge funds, borrowers and consumers. We also frequently act for and advise regulators, including the FCA, HM Treasury, FOS, FSCS and the SFO.

Our barristers appear in banking and financial services-related matters in courts and regulatory tribunals in England and Wales.

A number of our banking and financial services barristers have also been called to the Bars of other jurisdictions and appear in courts in the EU, the Middle East, the Far East, the Caribbean, Australia, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar.

Our barristers also act in banking and finance-related arbitrations around the world.
