The financial markets are at the heart of most developed economies, and play an increasingly important role in the developing world. Today, sophisticated investors are seeking accurate advice on product structure, taxation, regulation, competition, business development and, if need be, on dispute resolution and insolvency.

Our Financial Markets group brings together more than 70 lawyers operating across Europe and East Asia. We act on complex transactions as well as delivering a full range of regulatory advice for financial institutions and businesses of all sizes, including investment banks, fund managers, brokers and other intermediaries, custodians and clearing firms, trading platforms and internet service providers, corporate finance boutiques, insurance firms, pension funds, venture capitalists, arbitrageurs and principal traders.

Additional multi-jurisdictional advice can be delivered through our strong relationships with other major firms in Europe, America, Asia and the main offshore jurisdictions.

On contentious and non-contentious matters alike, our service is partner-led, tightly focused and well resourced.
