Banking Litigation


 Or 

Disputes in this area of law can involve vast sums and this is where the experience we have gained through long-standing relationships with major banks can be put at your service. 

We will work alongside you to achieve the most satisfactory outcomes. As we move in to a more challenging environment, our commitment is to creating a bond with you built on trust and professionalism. An additional practice within the team is insolvency litigation acting for banks, insolvency officeholders, bondholders and other creditors.

Relevant experience includes:

  • Acting in defending constructive trust-style claims arising out of a fraudulent investment scheme in litigation in New York and Tennessee involving both US and English procedural and substantive law
  • Acting in evaluating claims in distressed/insolvent situations in various jurisdictions in order to assist a bank in its trading decisions. 
  • Advising on the trading of litigation rights in different jurisdictions, acting in major Commercial Court litigation arising out of a dispute relating to a distressed debt trade
  • Acting in High Court proceedings arising out of the largest ever UK documentary credits fraud
  • Defending an action by a customer alleging a breach of FSA regulations arising out of his Forex trading
  • Working with an Irish bank to successfully limit its loss caused by a major real estate fraud
