Our lawyers have significant experience in dealing with regulatory disputes in the financial sector and conducting corporate investigations. When wrongdoing is detected, businesses may need to initiate an investigation in order to understand what has happened and what legal options are available to recover any losses that have been incurred.
Depending on the nature of the business and the nature of the wrongdoing, there may also be a need for advice on handling regulatory and criminal investigations. We at Signature are able to assist businesses and individuals with that process, and by taking a lead role in the investigation process we can quickly advise on what legal options are available and ensure an appropriate strategy is in place.
We advise clients on dawn raid strategies, allegations of market manipulation, insider dealing, and associated FCA Principles and Listing Rules breaches. We also advise clients in connection with investigations initiated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Serious Fraud Office.
We also advise clients in seeking applications for judicial review.
