Banking disputes
Claims and defence in litigation arising from banking contracts, structured products and financial services. Action both in contractual disputes and in controversies related to transparency, unfair conditions or enforcement of security interests.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Conflict and documentation analysis
We review the banking contract, the history of the relationship, communications and applicable regulations to determine the parties' legal positions and the most appropriate strategy.
Pre-litigation claim or defence
We issue the pre-litigation claim or response, exploring negotiated solutions that allow the dispute to be resolved without litigation, with particular attention to reputational impact for the client.
Civil litigation or arbitration
When the dispute requires judicial or arbitral resolution, we manage all procedural steps with banking and financial technical expertise, coordinating experts when necessary.
Volume litigation management
For institutions facing mass litigation from specific products, we implement a standardised defence methodology with periodic reporting and case law trend analysis.
Who this is for
Banks and financial institutions facing customer claims for banking contracts, investment products or financial services. Also companies and individuals in disputes against banks for irregular enforcement, improper charges or contractual breaches.
