Banking and financial litigation

Financial investments are an important part of the Principality of Monaco’s vibrant and attractive economic environment.

However, disagreements may arise causing banks or assets managers to face contractual or tortious claims. On a daily basis, our Banking & Finance team provides clients with the advice and assistance needed to head off pre-litigation and handle civil cases before all of the Monegasque courts.

Our team is an expert in the following areas:

• Professional liability claims brought by clients, intermediaries or third parties against a financial institution (e.g. duty to advise, supervise, or warn non-sophisticated clients, etc.)
• Complex cases involving recovery of assets from debtors, borrowers or guarantors by means of investigative measures (pre-trial disclosure, asset tracing), interim injunctive measures (provisional court-ordered registration of mortgage charges, attachment of funds held in bank accounts, etc.), and enforcement measures (pledge enforcement, attachment of real property). We frequently instruct foreign law firms on international debt collection cases
• Confidential settlement negotiations
