Regulatory: Financial Services
This is a complex area of practice requiring a painstaking, intellectual and rigorous approach.
Several of our barristers have advised and represented the Financial Services Authority in groundbreaking investigations. We are well placed to advise clients on the approach and attitude of the regulator, as the body of case law and established practice grows.
Our broad experience in financial and corporate crime, international investigation and asset seizure, as well as professional disciplinary proceedings, ensures that our advice on the conduct of financial regulation litigation always takes account of the interplay between the regulatory activity of the Financial Services Authority and the functions of the Serious Fraud Office, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, foreign law enforcement agencies and other domestic regulators.
Notable cases:
R v Wilson & another (2009)
The 'Cawston Park' alleged 'Extra Care' fraud
