Financial services

Overview

Although the immediate turmoil of the global financial crisis may have subsided, the banking sector remains under the spotlight of both regulators and public commentators. And in spite of any ‘back-to-basics' sentiment, complexity remains the commonest currency, particularly in relation to derivatives and structured products. Yet with a premium on reputation and effective working relationships, often involving counterparts and regulators in multiple jurisdictions, the need for swift and effective dispute resolution is paramount.
