Finance and Banking
In the wake of the global economic crisis, a new reality has emerged. One that has changed the financial and banking community’s view of the world fundamentally.
Risk has given way to caution. Lending has contracted precipitously.
Tighter profit margins have intensified the pressure on commission-driven selling. Mis-selling has not gone away.
Compliance climbs higher and higher up the agenda as the regulatory environment becomes tougher. The FSA, the SEC, the European Union and other domestic governments around the world have responded to the crisis with a succession of reviews and new policies.
The reduction in transactions has made it harder to find willing and appropriate partners and secure finance, shifting attention to restructuring.
The fallout from all of this has been inevitable: conflict, litigation and dispute resolution by various other means. And in a world like this individuals and organisations need to protect themselves by understanding and mitigating risk and recovering losses.
Why we are different
Working with individuals and institutions gives us a grounded, real world understanding of issues and not just a theoretical legal one. We offer solutions based on intelligent strategic advice, specific to the problem at hand instead of standard, off-the-peg responses.
We manage costs carefully and always aim to deliver a return on investment.
We can be forceful and diplomatic, depending on the settlement or deal to be negotiated.
We are honest with you about what can be achieved because we believe this makes for deeper, more trusting relationships.
We do all of the above with a team made up of both litigators and transactional lawyers, all equipped with the knowledge and experience you want of the banking and financial world.
