Norton Rose Fulbright brings to bear its multijurisdictional regulatory investigations, international trade, and white-collar criminal defence expertise in acting for an array of major global corporates and financial institutions throughout high-profile and complex proceedings, including SFO and FCA investigations, prosecutions by UK and US enforcement agencies, and internal compliance reviews relating to financial services regulations, ESG, and other emerging issues. The practice, led by the experienced duo of Patrick Bourke and Neil O’May, offers a broad range of experience, with key names including Ruth Cowley, who combines litigation and investigations expertise, David Harris, who handles regulatory compliance and cross-border investigations relating to financial crime, and Andrew Reeves, a go-to for cross border compliance work who is increasingly active on the sanctions front.
