Lucy Pert – Hausfeld & Co LLP

Hausfeld & Co LLP ‘s banking litigation team is described as a ‘great and close-knit unit of ex-City partners with banking experience now deployed in a crack squad to assist the investor and borrower community’. It stands out for being conflict free and able to act against major financial institutions on behalf of claimants. It has expertise on financial services disputes, acting on claims relating to electronic trading platforms and cryptoassets among other things. The team counts on the expertise of ‘outstanding lawyer’ John McElroy, ‘exceptionally bright’ Lucy Pert, ‘absolutely brilliant’ Simon Bishop  and the ‘extraordinary’ Lianne Craig, who recently became London managing partner. The firm’s commercial disputes practice (which includes banking litigation) now accounts for around 40-50% of the firm’s work.
