Our lawyers provide pragmatic advice and commercial solutions to clients operating across the financial services sector and we provide up-to-date advice on new and increasingly complex financial services regulation. We counsel our clients in all legal challenges and opportunities facing the financial sector, including technological innovation, regulatory and compliance matters, governance issues, labor and employment law, corporate transactions, internal investigations and complex disputes and litigation. We advise the full range of financial services firms and have particular expertise in asset management, private equity (including platform build-outs), FinTech, banking, wealth management, payments and insurance.

Many of our lawyers include individuals that formerly worked for regulators, prosecutors, general counsel and compliance officers, giving our group insights into the objectives and priorities of regulators, as well as an understanding of the industry’s history, evolution and potential developments.
