Financial professionals turn to us when they need help defending claims, resolving disputes, and managing regulatory issues.
Our experience in this field is vast. We've defended claims against financial advisers and networks, discretionary investment and fund managers, pension trustees, administrators and actuaries, offshore trustees and corporate service providers.
We provide a full service offering to financial and pensions professionals and have lawyers specialising in key areas of the field. These include civil claims, Financial Ombudsman Service (FOC) complaints, s166 skilled persons reports, past business reviews and Pensions Ombudsman complaints.
