Work Department
Jake is a partner in Eversheds Sutherland’s Financial Services Disputes & Investigations group specialising in corporate investigations and regulatory enforcement.
Jake advises clients on a wide range of risks arising from breaches of regulatory and criminal laws, as well as assisting clients with internal investigations, remediation and response to enforcement into potential breaches of rules and regulations. Jake also advises on the application and interpretation of financial services regulations, particularly in relation to market abuse, insider dealing, money laundering, market conduct, and the UK’s Senior Managers & Certification Regime.
Recently, Jake has acted for several global banks and international firms on a range of civil, regulatory and criminal investigations and enforcement matters, including enquiries into the misuse of electronic trading algorithms and platforms, the fall-out from a major cyber security incident and data breach involving customer data, alleged breaches of anti-money laundering regulations, issues involving insider dealing and the mishandling of inside information, and mis-selling and abusive practices involving wholesale markets and retail banking services.

(Next Generation Partners)Leveraging a ‘strong depth of knowledge, experience and relationships’ throughout the financial services sector, enhanced by the existence of numerous ex-senior FCA enforcement lawyers and in-house banking lawyers within its ranks, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP is well-positioned to represent a myriad stakeholders on many of their most pressing contentious concerns. An ‘excellent strategist and tactician’, Gregory Brandman has acted as defence counsel on a high proportion of the FCA’s recent published enforcement outcomes and is also regularly engaged by the regulator to act as a “skilled person”. Drawing upon an ‘excellent knowledge of the broader regulatory landscape’, Jake McQuitty is also an ‘outstanding lead on enforcement cases’ related to regulatory misconduct and suspected criminality and is well-versed at handling cyber security matters. Julia Neal has ‘excellent market insight’, which she effectively leverages in the context of enforcement actions and internal investigations. Kari McKormick co-heads the team alongside Brandman and Neal and has niche expertise defending accountancy firms and their senior employees in investigations by the Financial Reporting Council.
