A specialist group of industry-focussed litigators advising banks and other financial institutions on contentious, insolvency and regulatory matters.

We advise domestic and international financial institutions on their compliance obligations and the management and avoidance of legal risk.  Where disputes arise, we represent those clients in civil proceedings and in other forms of dispute resolution procedure, including mediation and arbitration.  We are experienced in the field of regulatory investigations and proceedings, including those conducted by the FSA and SEC and those arising in the context of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  We also provide both contentious and non-contentious insolvency and restructuring advice to banks, other lenders, insolvency practitioners, creditors, debtors and directors.  Our experience has been supplemented with practical in-house experience and a number of our lawyers are qualified mediators and solicitor-advocates.

Mayer Brown litigators have been involved in most of the high-stakes cases of the last decade and beyond including BCCI, Maxwell, Barings, BBL, Cendant, Worldcom, Global Crossing and Enron.
