Financial markets disputes view: April 2026
In our April’s edition, we cover Supreme Court AR liability limits, FCA motor finance redress, higher FOS awards, privilege updates, enforcement, and key cases.
Our dispute resolution team does more than advise on the law. We offer strategic business thinking and a clear point of view, rooted in our exceptional legal knowledge.
Our integrated international network enables us to tackle complex multi-jurisdictional cases – like our work advising the US Department of Justice’s appointed Monitor in the global Volkswagen emissions scandal.
Our partners lead from the front, on arbitration, patent litigation, brand infringements and financial markets litigations, as well as crime, fraud and investigations.
We know our four sectors in rare depth, so when legal obstacles arise, we’re ready. We know what works. And we’ll give you clear, actionable recommendations.
We’re proud to represent 18 of the world’s 20 biggest pharmaceutical companies, along with many leading global banks, funds and corporates.
