BANKING AND FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

We have wide ranging experience acting for and against financial institutions in complex, occasionally cross-border, disputes. In addition to pursuing matters in Court, our lawyers have assisted investors to negotiate settlements of their claims, and have experience dealing with the FCA as well as helping investors to pursue claims and recover compensation through the FOS and FSCS.
The issues that we can advise on (and litigate if necessary) in this area include:

•  OTC derivatives contracts (swaps and options having interest rates or currency pairs and underlying)
• Contracts for differences (CfDs) and other so called “Forex” products
• Redemptions from funds and collective investment schemes generally
• Personal borrowing, violations by lenders of the Consumer Credit Act etc.
• Losses incurred by clients of FCA-regulated firms as the result of violation of FCA rules (FSMA 138D claims)
• Bogus investment schemes
