Our commercial and retail banking dispute resolution team advises on a wide range of banking disputes for an impressive range of domestic and international clients, including UK clearing banks, sovereign states, quasi-governmental banking entities, central banks and multilaterals. Matters frequently involve an international element, particularly the US and Europe, and our international reach allows us to operate seamlessly across jurisdictions.  We have a strong reputation in the legal retail banking sector and have been described by UK Legal 500 directory (2008/09) as the "clear market leader".  Our practitioners have been identified in both UK Legal 500 and Chambers UK as leaders in their field.  According to UK Legal 500, Jon Holland is "widely regarded as the leading litigator in the retail banking market" and Andrea Monks has been hailed as a "rising star".  Recent plaudits for the team include Chambers UK (2008/09) which says "There is a culture of outstanding quality that infuses the whole group and as a result you get simply amazing service".

Our experience covers all the issues that banks and other financial institutions in this sector are likely to encounter, whether they arise between banks and their customers, banks and other banks or banks and their regulators and other authorities.  The team has significant expertise in the regulatory field, including in relation to anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance.  We regularly work alongside colleagues from other specialist dispute resolution and non-contentious areas, as well as specialists elsewhere in the Lovells network, to ensure the best result for the client.
