We are looking to grow our Financial Services Disputes team in London working closely with specialist financial services disputes and litigation partners.
We’re keen to hear from litigators (2 yrs PQE+) with particular interest and a track record in financial services and we will consider candidates from Associate level upwards.
You can expect a varied and interesting case load consisting of contentious financial services matters, investigations, litigation and risk compliance. You would work on a range of financial services related matters including conduct investigations, fraud, money laundering, corruption, sanctions and bribery alongside leading FS disputes practitioners to support our complex caseload.
