Banking and financial disputes

Our dedicated banking and financial disputes lawyers act for companies, partnerships, LLPs, directors and individuals on a wide variety of banking and financial disputes.

Securing and maintaining access to appropriate banking and finance facilities, and ensuring that those facilities are properly administered and managed, is an essential part of any business and financial planning. This is an increasingly complex and evolving sector, where issues and disputes frequently arise. 

Many of our clients have experience in dealing with disputes involving banking and financial regulatory law, but others may not have been engaged in this form of dispute before.

Whatever the size and nature of the dispute, you can be confident that it will be handled by a dedicated specialist.  

As we’re not on any banks' panels for litigation we’re conflict free.

We have extensive experience in dealing with financial disputes and disputes involving financial regulatory framework issues so can tailor our expert advice for you. Our experience also means that you can be confident that your case will be dealt with by a specialist in the field and supervised by a partner with significant knowledge of the area.
