We have an experienced team of lawyers who advise on matters relating to financial services professional. Our team deals with coverage, monitoring and defence work - our team is recognised as being at the forefront of assisting financial advisers and their insurers with complaints, claims and contentious regulatory issues. We have been involved in this field for many years and enjoy an excellent reputation for our work which has included:

  • Investment products including all of the major mis-selling scandals and regulatory investigations over the last 15 years
  • Disputes involving pensions
  • Fraud
  • Fund management and investment strategy
  • Regulatory (includinf FCA, DISP rules and FOS)

Our expertise is based in both Bristol and London and, therefore, we are able to adopt a flexible approach so as to ensure creative and cost effective solutions.
