The Firm’s overall focus has naturally led its Litigation team to develop considerable wide-ranging experience in handling both domestic and cross-border disputes related to financial markets law, banking law, insolvency law and company law, with particular reference to the most complex high worth disputes. The team has gained broad and specific experience in disputes concerning financial derivatives. The experience developed by the Litigation team is particularly relevant to situations presenting a multiplicity of potential issues – of a civil, regulatory and often also criminal nature – where the legal analysis demands comprehensive knowledge of the financial dynamics underlying a dispute. The Litigation team offers comprehensive advice, from broad strategy to the conduct of proceedings, with a particular focus on pre-contentious and post-litigation activities, as well as negotiation of potential settlements. Legal strategy is kept under constant review as events develop, in order to identify how the client’s interests may best be served. The considerable expertise in court proceedings and procedures is combined with the Firm’s knowledge of financial, banking, commercial and corporate matters, both within the Litigation team and among members of the other teams. This ensures that clients receive an all-encompassing service in civil lawsuits as well as in enforcement procedures before supervisory authorities. The Litigation team regularly acts for banks and other players in the domestic and international financial markets and is well-positioned to serve clients from any business sector that needs highly expert advice.
