Financial institutions & investment advisers

Financial institutions & investment advisers

The increasing complexity of the global financial markets represents a continual challenge often compounded by the regulatory regime of a particular off-shore jurisdiction. The sums at stake are often very large indeed and the subject matter arcane. We work with financial experts to unravel some of the complexities and reduce the issues to manageable proportions. We have dealt with futures and derivatives, ART, hedge funds, off-shore trusts, pension funds, commodity markets, pension funds and more modest IFAs.

We have acted for many insured institutions and advisers over a range of issues. Our experience includes:

• M&A Indemnity disputes

• Negligence claims regarding corporate acquisition advice

• Claims concerning market manipulation and breach of Stock Exchange rules

• Claims against investment managers regarding misuse of funds

• Insider dealing claims

• Matters arising under Bankers Blanket Bond and Computer Crime Cover

• DTI, Lloyds, FSA investigations

• ART

• Misleading prospectus allegations

• Metal Market disputes

• Fraudulent futures trading
