Middle East : Litigation & Dispute Resolution : Financial Markets Disputes
Our Financial Markets Dispute Resolution group specialises in advising on complex disputes and regulatory investigations arising from the financial markets.  

The team comprises seven partners and 11 associates, a number of whom have been recruited from the UK FSA’s Enforcement and Supervision divisions as well as the Serious Fraud Office. 

The legal directories say: 

  • "clients valued the lawyers' ability to assist in a challenging commercial and regulatory environment"
  • "particular expertise in financial services matters and state of the art experience in the contentious and regulatory matters arising from hedge fund activity"
  • "the practice is establishing itself amongst the high-end investment bankers, having made critical inroads into the regulatory sphere"

Our recent experience covers FSA investigations and enforcement actions, market abuse investigations, including acting in the most high profile FSA investigation of this nature in the UK, disputes arising out of debt and loan syndications, disputes between hedge fund and placing agents, claims arising from settlement and clearing and custodian services, investment mismanagement claims and professional negligence, claims arising out of various security interests and derivative products and judicial review of decisions taken by supervisory and regulatory bodies.

Clients we represent include investment banks, hedge funds, retail banks, investment funds, broker dealers, clearing houses, financial intermediaries and businesses operating in a highly regulated environment.

In addition to our core team of litigators, we draw on the in-depth expertise of the firm’s highly regarded Financial Markets and Finance practices. Together with our network of European and East Asian offices we are also able to provide coordinated strategic advice and to handle large and complex cases with multi-jurisdictional elements.
