We have a cross-practice team with an in-depth knowledge of the financial services industry across Europe and Asia. The volume of regulation being issued and the need to protect the reputation of financial institutions mean that top quality and timely regulatory advice is a must.
We believe the breadth of our financial institutions practice distinguishes us from other legal advisers. Non-contentious matters on which we act include:
- M&A
- joint ventures
- demutualisations
- restructurings
- establishment and authorisation of new businesses
- creation of new products
- financing transactions
- securitisations
- risk transfer schemes
- distribution arrangements
- regulatory capital
Our corporate strength is reinforced by our leading dispute resolution practice where our work includes banking and insurance litigation, partnership and other employment disputes. We are also expert in the field of risk management and regulatory compliance, including disciplinary proceedings and investigations, whether internal or external.
