• advice and representation during regulatory investigations and enforcement actions -
• representing clients before financial regulators and law enforcement agencies and in proceedings before regulatory tribunals and in the courts
We seek to ensure associates obtain a broad range of relevant experience in order to develop their legal skills and expertise and meet the needs of our clients. Therefore the role will also, on occasions, involve:
• working on civil disputes/proceedings in the financial services sector (particularly those raising regulatory issues)
• criminal investigations/proceedings involving financial/corporate crime and corruption issues
• working closely with our public/administrative law practice
