Members of Chambers are experienced practitioners in financial
services law, including in particular regulatory matters now under
the Financial Services & Markets Act (FSMA) 2000. They have
provided advice, advocacy, and negotiated settlements in disciplinary
proceedings before a wide range of tribunals, regulatory investigations
and committees, preparation of regulatory proceedings, litigation
concerning the powers and duties of regulatory bodies (including
the FSA and IMRO), investors’ compensation disputes involving
complaints of misrepresentation made in prospectuses and similar
documents, and in consumer credit cases. Members of chambers have
appeared before tribunals and bodies such as the Institute of Chartered
Accountants, the FSA's Regulatory Decisions Committee and IMRO's
Disciplinary Committee.
Chambers’ company and insolvency-related work often involves
advising investment businesses, banks, insurance companies, and
professional firms on financial services legislation, the Takeover
Code in relation to mergers and acquisitions, civil liability for
breaches of the general law and of statutory duty (including claims
under FSMA), as well as sanctions for market misconduct and money
laundering.
Members also frequently advise and draft written submissions in
connection with the Financial Ombudsman Scheme.
