RPC continues to build on its status as one of the few premier tier banking and finance litigation specialists which is able to service market counterparties against major banking institutions due to its predominantly conflict free position. We are proud to note that Chambers and Legal 500 both now recognise us as being in the highest bracket of conflict free firms operating in London's financial markets disputes sector, as well as well-earned individual rankings and reviews for our partners.
You can now follow more informal regular news and views from the department on Twitter @conflictfreeRPC.
