Financial Services Litigation

Service overview

What we do

Financial disputes require a clear understanding of the commercial relationship, the regulatory framework and the outcome that matters most. We advise commercial and residential mortgage providers, second charge, bridging and any other asset based lender on disputes arising from lending, security, enforcement and regulatory action.
Our work includes borrower defaults, recovery and enforcement proceedings, title repair, possession and shortfall claims, and challenges involving the Financial Conduct Authority, Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Where appropriate, we work with colleagues across Banking & Finance, Restructuring & Insolvency and Regulatory to provide joined-up advice.
