Financial Litigation
We have always been a leading international finance practice, but in recent years we have developed a finance litigation group which matches our non-contentious practice. We now act on complex disputes for many substantial banks and financial institutions.
The disputes we handle often involve parallel litigation in several jurisdictions and we have developed a particular expertise in managing this type of case.
For example, we recently acted for the London branch of a German bank in a multi-million dollar claim which involved the appointment of English and foreign receivers over property situated in several jurisdictions on the basis of a Material Adverse Change clause under English law security documents. The case involved bringing emergency anti-suit proceedings in the English Courts, related insolvency proceedings in the Bermuda Courts and, finally, the successful defence of a related action brought by bondholders in the New York Courts under a Bond Indenture governed by New York law.
We also have a very strong workouts & insolvency practice.
We have acted in several of the most high profile banking cases heard in the High Court in recent years and have helped our clients score notable victories in very hard fought litigation. Our finance litigation expertise covers:
- loan workouts and enforcement
- syndicated loan disputes
- securitisation disputes
- international fraud and asset tracing
- derivatives litigation
- international securities litigation
- trade finance - including letters of credit disputes
- mortgage enforcement, often involving foreign assets
- bringing and defending bondholder actions.
Our expertise and success in this area is well recognised and we are recommended as one of the leading law firms for Investment Banking Litigation in the 2006 edition of the "Legal 500".
